Page 42 Application planning 4.2 System and load power supply Infeed via CPU and system power supply For larger hardware configurations, infeed into the backplane bus by the CPU alone no longer suffices. If modules consume more than 10 or 12 W in total (depending on the CPU used), insert an additional system power supply.
Page 43 Application planning 4.2 System and load power supply Infeed via system power supply only As a further possibility you can feed the required power into the backplane bus using only a system power supply. In this case, the CPU is not supplied with 24 VDC, and draws its supply from the backplane bus.
Page 44: Power Balance Calculation
The power fed into the backplane bus from the CPU and system power supply is listed in the technical data of the CPU in the corresponding Manual (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/57251228). The power drawn from the backplane bus by an I/O module or the CPU is listed in the technical data of the CPU in the corresponding Manual (http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/57251228).

The various address areas are explained below. I/O address I/O addresses (input/output addresses) are required to read inputs and set outputs in the user program.
Page 91 Configuring 7.1 Address assignment Hardware identifier In addition to the I/O addresses, a hardware identifier (Hardware identifier), which is used to identify the module, is assigned automatically by STEP 7. Such a Hardware identifier is also assigned to submodules. The Hardware identifier consists of an integer and is output at diagnostics alarms by the system.

Page 218: Glossary
Glossary Automation system Programmable logic controller for the closed-loop and open-loop control of process chains in the process engineering industry and manufacturing technology. The automation system consists of different components and integrated system functions according to the automation task. Baud rate Data transmission rate indicates the number of bits transmitted per second (baud rate = bit rate).
Page 219 Glossary Diagnostics Monitoring functions for the detection, localization, classification, display, and further evaluation of errors, faults, and alarms. They run automatically while the system is in operation. This increases the availability of systems by reducing commissioning times and downtimes. Distributed I/O system System with input and output modules that are configured on a distributed basis, far away from the CPU controlling them.
Page 220 Glossary GSD file As a Generic Station Description, this file contains all properties of a PROFINET or PROFIBUS device that are necessary for its configuration. I/O modules All modules that can be operated with a CPU or an interface module. Identification data Information that is saved in modules, and that supports the user in reviewing the system configuration and locating hardware changes.
Page 221 Glossary Parameter assignment Parameter assignment is the transfer of parameters from the IO controller / DP master to the IO device / DP slave. PELV Protective Extra Low Voltage = grounded extra low voltage with safe isolation Pre-wiring Wiring of the electrical system on the front connector before the front connector is used on the I/O module.
Page 222 Glossary PROFINET component A PROFINET component includes the entire data of the hardware configuration, the parameters of the modules, and the corresponding user program. The PROFINET component consists of: ● Technological function The (optional) technological (software) function comprises the interface to other PROFINET components in the form of interconnectable inputs and outputs.
Page 223 Glossary SNMP SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is the standardized protocol for performing diagnostics on and assigning parameters to the Ethernet network infrastructure. In the office setting and in automation engineering, devices from many different vendors support SNMP on the Ethernet. SNMP-based applications can be operated on the same network in parallel to applications with PROFINET.
