After the bus devices have been

created and checked, the HW export

can be initiated.
To do so, select a device from the
desired project and click on the ”Export
to HW config.“ button. The “ET200
configurator network configuration“
window is opened.
First you have to select
the required
communication buses
and the CPU.
Double-clicking on the
communication interface
of the device or CPU will
open the respective
interface parameters
dialog.
Select the desired bus
under “Bus Assignment“
and specify the address
number under ”Address“
When the interfaces for all devices
and the CPU are configured, you
have to specify where you want to
store the configuration. The cfg file
now created can afterwards be used
for the HW export in STEP7.
Create a new project in STEP7,
select the same CPU type as in
the network configuration of the
ET200 configurator and open
the hardware.
In the HW config of STEP7, choose the
menu item “Station“ -> “Import…“ and
set the path for the cfg file. Select the
file configuration to be imported and
start the import procedure with ”Open“.
When the import is
successfully completed, you
can continue editing the HW
configuration as usual.
