5.3 Configuring the CP 340
Introduction
Once you have mounted the CP 340 you must inform the programmable controller that it is
there. This process is known as "configuration".
Prerequisite
Before you can enter the CP 340 in the configuration table of the STEP 7 software, you must
have created a project and a terminal with STEP 7.
Configuration
In the following, "configuration" refers to the entry of the communications processor in the
configuration table of the STEP 7 software. In the configuration table, enter the rack, the slot
and the order number of the communications processor. STEP 7 then automatically assigns
an address to the CP.
The CPU is now able to find the communications processor in its slot in the rack by way of its
address.
