CPI scan

The configuration of a CPI module in the CPX configuration can also be read in in combination with the
controller.
If no modules have been configured yet in the CPI module, read in the current CPI configuration from the
control system as follows:
•
Select the entry CPI in the "PLC Configuration" window.
•
Switch to the "CP Modules" tab.
•
Click the "Scan" button (at the bottom right of the tab) to start the search for CP modules.
Figure: CPI scan
The located modules then appear on the tab.
•
Enter the parameters of the CPI module and the connected individual modules.
As in configuration mode when the controller is not connected, these parameters are transferred to the
CPX system when the online connection is active and the project is downloaded.
Once the "Module" tab is read in and selected, the I/O data of the CPI module is listed in the PLC
configuration tree.

Note
The module configuration in the project and the module configuration in the device should be
identical.
•
Any differences must be eliminated before work with the system can continue.
•
Note the relevant messages that appear when the "Scan" command is executed.
