7.1.1
Reading out the configuration
Introduction
When a connection exists to a physically present CPU, you can load the configuration of this
CPU (including centrally present modules) from the device into your project using the
"Hardware detection" function. You do not need to manually configure the CPU and the
centrally present modules, as the physical configuration is read out automatically.
If you have already configured a CPU and the centrally present modules and you want to
load the current configuration and parameters in a new project, it is advisable to use the
"Upload device as new station" function. For additional information about this function, refer
to section Backing up and restoring the CPU configuration (Page 244).
