For "Found CPUs" (CPUs located on your local
network), use the "Communications" dialog to
connect with your CPU:
•
Select TCP/IP for your Communication Inter-
face.
•
Click the "Find CPUs" button to display all
operational CPUs ("Found CPUs") on the local
Ethernet network. All CPUs have a default IP
address. See the Note below.
•
Highlight a CPU, and then click "OK".
For "Added CPUs" (CPUs on the local or remote
networks), use the "Communications" dialog to
connect with your CPU:
•
Select TCP/IP for your Communication Inter-
face.
•
Click the "Add CPU" button to do one of the
following:
–
Enter the IP address of a CPU that is ac-
cessible from the programming device, but
is not on the local network.
–
Enter the IP address of a CPU directly that
is on the local network.
All CPUs have a default IP address. See the
Note below.
•
Highlight a CPU, and then click "OK".
After you have established communication with
the CPU, you are ready to create and download
the example program.
To download all project components, click the
Download button from the Transfer area of the File
or PLC menu ribbon strip, or alternatively press
the shortcut key combination CTRL+D.
If STEP 7-Micro/WIN SMART does not find your
CPU, check the settings for the communications
parameters and repeat these steps.
