Downloading data blocks to the CPU

To download data blocks to the CPU module, you use the STEP 7 SIMATIC Manager
standard tool. This allows you to copy blocks using drag-and-drop or a menu either in an
online window (configured online access) or in the window with the accessible nodes (non-
configured online access).
Note
When you download blocks to the automation system by dragging and dropping, you
yourself are responsible for ensuring that the blocks are copied to the correct online object
(in other words, the object with the correct MPI address). The STEP 7 tool does not check
this.
For more detailed information on these activities, refer to the online help of the SIMATIC
Manager.

Downloading system data blocks to the TIM

You should only download system data blocks (SDBs) to the TIM in the SIMATIC Manager
or in the SINAUT diagnostics and service tool.
Note
When downloading system data blocks in
connection SDBs (SDB7xx) are downloaded. If SDBs of this type need to be downloaded to
the TIM module, you must use the SIMATIC Manager or the SINAUT diagnostics and
service tool.
SDBs can also be downloaded in
configuration is a different procedure from that in the SIMATIC Manager and hardware
configuration and is not suitable for the TIM module. Copying SDBs to TIM modules should
therefore only be done in the SIMATIC Manager or SINAUT diagnostics and service tool.
In the SIMATIC Manager, all SDBs of a module are indicated by a symbol with the name

single unit. Otherwise, the same applies as for data blocks.
In the hardware configuration, it is possible to download the SDBs of individual modules or
entire stations.
In both cases, the function is followed by a dialog in which you are asked whether you want
to restart the TIM module. This dialog must be exited with
the new SDBs.
