Result of the hardware detection
STEP 7 has read out the hardware configuration and the modules and transferred these to
your project. STEP 7 assigns a valid default parameter assignments for all modules. You can
change the parameter assignment subsequently.

Note
If you want to go online after the hardware detection, you have to first download the detected
configuration to the CPU; otherwise, an error may occur due to inconsistent configurations.
Properties of central modules
The properties of the CPUs have special significance for system behavior. For a CPU, you
can, for example, make the following settings in STEP 7:
● Startup behavior
● Parameter assignment of the interface(s), for example IP address, subnet mask
● Web server, e.g., activation, user administration, and languages
● Cycle times, e.g., maximum cycle time
● Properties for the operation of the display
● System and clock memory
● Protection level for access protection with assigned password parameter
● Clock time settings (daylight saving time/standard time)
The properties that can be set and the corresponding value ranges are specified by STEP 7.
Fields that cannot be edited are grayed out.
