HW Konfig SIMATIC S7

From SIMATIC STEP7 V5.4 onwards, you can configure Siemens AS-Interface modules in your system in an even user-friendlier fashion. HW Config provides a slave selection dialog box from where the modules can be transferred to the S7 project at the click of a mouse. All slave-specific profile settings (I/O and ID codes) are automatically carried-out. The modules are parameterized in plain text using selection lists. This means that it is no longer necessary to search for parameter bits in the Operating Instructions. Plant and system documentation is simplified by an extensive descriptive text of the module. This applies both for the AS-i master modules CP343-2P, DP/AS-i Link 20E as well as for the new DP/AS-i LINK Advanced module. For the latter, I/O data from AS-i analog modules directly appear in the cyclic I/O space just the same as for the digital modules.
