3 Configuration with STEP 7
3.4
Uploading the Actual Configuration to the PG
(CP 3 43-2 P only)
Aims
You can upload the current actual configuration over the CP 343–2 P to the open
STEP 7 project.
This allows you to
S read in a complex configuration and use it as a basis for a further configuration
in STEP 7
S check a current configuration.
Note
The uploaded configuration is always the current actual configuration. This can
deviate from the configuration set with the buttons and stored on the AS-i master ,
for example when an AS-i slave is added or removed using the button
configuration function.
When you download the configuration defined in the STEP 7 project to the
CP 343-2, the configuration detected by the button configuration function is
overwritten.
Follow the steps below
Preparation: Create the basic configuration and download to the station:
1. Create a basic configuration by inserting the CP 343-2 P in an S7-300 station
without AS-i slaves in HW Config.
2. Download this basic configuration to the S7-300 station using HW Config.
Uploading:
3. Select the "AS-i Slave Options" tab in the Properties dialog of the CP.
4. Click the "Download to PG" button and, if a warning is displayed, simply confirm
it.
An existing configuration in the STEP 7 project is overwritten. Before the new
configuration is adopted, you must first confirm the warning.
5. Change to the "Slave Configuration" tab to view the actual configuration and
edit it if necessary.
Tip:
To use the function for information despite an existing configuration in STEP 7, you
can upload the actual configuration and then after checking it, quit the dialog with
the "Cancel" button.
