Once you are communicating with the S7-200 CPU, you can verify or change the
communications parameters for your CPU.
To change the communications parameters, follow the steps below:
1. Click the System Block icon on the navigation bar, or select View > System
Block from the menu.
2. The System Block dialog box appears. Click on the Port(s) tab (see
Figure 3-5). By default, the station address is 2, and the baud rate is 9.6
kbaud.
3. Select OK to keep these parameters. If you wish to change the parameters,
make your changes, then click OK.
4. Click the Download icon on the toolbar to load the changes into the CPU.
Your communications parameters have been accepted.
