Configuring ET 200SP

Introduction
The ET 200SP distributed I/O system is configured and assigned parameters with STEP 7
(CPU/interface module, I/O modules and server module) or using configuration software of a
third-party manufacturer (interface module, I/O modules and server module).
"Configuring" is understood to mean arranging, setting and networking devices and modules
within the device or network view. STEP 7 represents modules and module racks
graphically. Just like "real" module racks, the device view allows the insertion of a defined
number of modules.
When the modules are plugged, STEP 7 automatically assigns the addresses and a unique
hardware identifier. You can change the addresses later. The hardware identifiers cannot be
changed.
When the automation system is started, the CPU/interface module compares the configured
planned configuration with the system's actual configuration. You can make parameter
settings to control the response of the CPU/interface module to errors in the hardware
configuration.
"Parameter assignment" is understood to mean setting the properties of the components
used. During parameter assignment, the hardware parameters are set and the settings for
data exchange are made:
● Properties of the modules to which parameters can be assigned
● Settings for data exchange between components
The parameters are loaded into the CPU/interface module and transferred to the
corresponding modules during startup. Modules can be replaced very easily because the set
parameters are automatically loaded into the new module during startup.
