5.1 
Detecting the configuration for an unspecified CPU 
 
 
If you are connected to a CPU, you can upload the 
configuration of that CPU, including any modules, to your 
project. Simply create a new project and select the "unspecified 
CPU" instead of selecting a specific CPU. (You can also skip 
the device configuration entirely by selecting the "Create a PLC 
program" from the "First steps". STEP 7 then automatically 
creates an unspecified CPU.)  
From the program editor, you select the "Hardware detection" 
command from the "Online" menu. 
From the device configuration editor, you select the option for detecting the configuration of 
the connected device. 
 
After you select the CPU from the online dialog and click the Load button, STEP 7 uploads 
the hardware configuration from the CPU, including any modules (SM, SB, or CM). You can 
then configure the parameters for the CPU and the modules (Page 76).
