Configuring The Central Rack - Siemens SIMATIC STEP 7 V5.2 Getting Started

Configuring the Central Rack

6.1 Configuring Hardware
You can configure the hardware once you have created a project with a SIMATIC
station. The project structure which was created with the STEP 7 Wizard in
Section 2.1 meets all the requirements for this.
The hardware is configured with STEP 7. These configuration data are transferred
to the programmable controller later on "downloading" (see Chapter 7).
The "HW Config" window opens. The CPU you selected on creating the project is
displayed. For the "Getting Started" project, this is CPU 314.
