Using the "unspecified CPU" to upload the hardware configuration 

If you have a physical CPU that you can connect to the programming device, it is easy to 

upload the configuration of the hardware.  
You must first connect the CPU to your programming device, and you must create a new 

project.  

 

 

In the device configuration (Project view or Portal view), 

add a new device, but select the "unspecified CPU" 

instead of selecting a specific CPU. STEP 7 creates an 

unspecified CPU. 

 

After creating the unspecified CPU, you can upload the 

hardware configuration for the online 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, STEP 7 uploads the hardware configuration 

from the CPU, including any modules (SM, SB, or CM). The IP address is not uploaded. You 

must go to "Device configuration" to manually configure the IP address.
