Configuring; Configuring The Cpu - Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 System Manual

Configuring

Introduction
By configuring the individual hardware components, assigning their parameters, and
connecting them, you communicate to the S7-1500 automation system/ET 200MP
distributed I/O system its preset configuration and operating principle. You perform the work
needed for this in the device and network views in STEP 7.
"Conf iguring" is understood to mean the arranging, setup and networking of devices and
modules within the device view or network view of STEP 7. STEP 7 graphically represents
modules and racks. Just like "real" module racks, the device view allows the insertion of a
defined number of modules.
When the modules are inserted, STEP 7 automatically assigns the addresses and a unique
hardware identifier (HW identifier). You can change the addresses later. The HW identifiers
cannot be changed.
At startup, the system components compare the configured preset configuration with the
actual configuration of the system. By means of parameter assignment, you can specify the
response of the CPU to errors in the hardware configuration.
"A s signing parameters" is understood to mean setting the properties of the components
used (CPU, modules).
The hardware configuration (result of "configuring" and "assigning parameters") is compiled
and downloaded to the CPU. The CPU then connects to the configured components and
transfers their configuration and parameters. Modules can be replaced very easily because
when a new module is inserted, its configuration and parameters are transferred again.

Configuring the CPU

Requirements for configuration of the CPU
C o nfiguration software
STEP 7(TIA Portal) as of V12.0
The following CPUs can be configured only in V12 or higher: CPU 1511-1 PN, CPU 1513-1 PN, CPU 1516-3 PN/DP.
1)
Please note that all other CPUs can be configured only starting from a later version (e.g. V12 SP1). Refer to the product
manual for the CPU to find out whether the version of the CPU you are using is configurable in STEP 7.
