The following conditions must be fulfilled:
S The c omputer can c ommunicate via Ethernet or an Ethernet connection has
been established
S The PG/PC is connected to the Ethernet interface 1 (company network) of
the SINUMERIK 840Di sl PCU. (See Section 7.1.1, Page 7-161)
S The IP address of the Ethernet interface 1 (company network) of the
SINUMERIK 840Di sl PCU is known. (See Section 7.1.2, Page 7-161)
Perform the following steps to load the configuration from the target system:
1. Start STEP 7 on the external computer (PG/PC).
2. Create a new STEP 7 project to which the configuration shall be loaded.
3. In STEP 7, select the following menu options for the project: Target system >
Load station into PG
Since the communication parameters have not yet been communicated to
STEP 7, the node address selection dialog is displayed. Enter the following
data:
Dialog: “Select node address”
Rack: 0
Slot: 2
Target station: Local
IP address: <IP addr. of PCU Ethernet interface 1>
Note
