6.6 Load configuration (STEP 7 -> PLC)
6.6.1 Requirements
For loading the configuration into the PLC, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
● A communications link exists between STEP 7 and the PLC.
● The configuration to be loaded corresponds to the actual station configuration.
● SINUMERIK 840Di sl is active:
– NC: Cyclic operation
– PLC: RUN or STOP mode
6.6.2 Uploading the configuration
Note
It is recommended to check consistency of the configuration before loading it.
HW Config: Station > Check consistency
Supplementary condition
The following boundary conditions regarding the system data blocks are observed when the
configuration is loaded:
● SIMATIC Manager
When loading the configuration via the SIMATIC manager all the system data blocks are
loaded into the module.
● HW Config
When loading the configuration via HW Config, only the system data blocks generated by
HW Config during compilation of the configuration are loaded into the module.
