„ Drag-and-drop method
1. Select a module of your choice by clicking on it in the hardware catalog.
If any preselected slot (as indicated by blue background) has no meaning.
2. Drag and drop the module into a target slot. The module is inserted in that slot. With
this method, when you drag a module over a slot, the pointer changes its appearance as
shown below to indicate whether the module can be inserted in that slot.
Depending on the hardware configuration, when a module is inserted in a slot, a property
screen may automatically appear for that module. The content of a property screen depends
on the type of a module. The properties of each module are described later in this chapter. If
no property screen automatically appears when a module is added, you can still display the
property screen for that module by double-clicking on Module in the station editing window.
The CP, FM or some other module requires special software for its setting. As such software
does not come with the STEP7, it must be purchased and installed by the customer.
If wrong hardware configuration information were transferred to the CPU, the CPU could fail to start
up.
