6.1.1

Reading out the configuration

Introduction
When a connection exists to a physically present CPU, you can load the configuration of this
CPU (including centrally present modules) from the device into your project using the
"Hardware detection" function. You do not need to manually configure the CPU and the
centrally present modules, as the physical configuration is read out automatically.
If a CPU and the centrally present modules have already been configured and you want to
load the current configuration and parameters in a new project, it is advisable to use the
"Upload device as new station" function. For more information about this function, refer to
the chapter "Upload device as new station (Page 99)".
