Configuration
Configuring
To be able to configure the communications processor, the following engineering or
configuration tools are available:
● STEP 7 V5.5
● STEP 7 Professional (TIA Portal)
● Communication Settings (COML S7)
The steps involved are described in the "Commissioning PC Stations" manual or in the
relevant online helps.
Compatibility during configuration
If there is not a CP 5623 / CP 5624 available in the hardware catalog of your STEP 7
version, you can also select a previous version for configuration.
● For the CP 5623, select a configuration of:
– CP 5613 A2 or
– CP 5613
● For the CP 5624, select a configuration of:
– CP 5614 A2 or
– CP 5614
The CP 5623 / CP 5624 is downwards compatible with the configurations of the previous
versions.
NOTICE
Configurations not compatible
The DP slave configuration of a CP of the 56x3 series is not compatible with the DP slave
configuration of a CP from the 56x4 series. This means, for example, that the DP slave
configuration of a CP 5623 cannot be loaded on a CP 5624 - and vice versa - because the
slave will not work with this configuration.
