S7-400, M7-400 Programmable Controllers Module Specifications
A5E00069467-07
8.2 Configuration
The IM 467/IM 467 FO is configured with STEP 7. The configuration data are
retained even in the event of a power failure; a memory module is not required.
Using the S7 functions it is possible to program and configure remotely all the
IM 467/IM 467 FO connected to the network and all the CPUs connected via the
SIMATIC S7-400 backplane bus.
SIMATIC STEP 7 is the prerequisite for this.
• STEP 7 V3.1
The IM 467 (MLFB no. 6ES7467-5GJ00-0AB0) can be configured as of STEP 7
version 3.1.
• STEP 7 V4.02
The IM 467 (MLFB no. 6ES7467-5GJ01-0AB0) supports the SYNC/FREEZE
functional enhancement as of STEP 7 version 4.02.
• STEP 7 as of version 5.00
The IM 467/IM 467 FO (MLFB number
6ES7467-5GJ02-0AB0/6ES7467-5FJ00-0AB0) supports the functional
expansions of routing of programming device functions, DP direct
communication and equidistance as of STEP 7 version 5.00.
Module Replacement Without a Programming Device
The configuration data are stored in the load memory of the CPU. The non-volatile
storage of configuration data in the CPU is ensured by battery backup or EPROM
module cards.
The IM 467/IM 467 FO can be replaced without the need to explicitly reload the
configuration data.
It is only possible to remove and insert the IM 467/IM 467 FO in a deenergized
state.
Multiprocessor Operation
The connected DP slaves can only be assigned to and processed by one CPU.
Configuration and Diagnostics Cannot Be Carried Out Simultaneously
When configuration is in progress, the IM 467/IM 467 FO cannot be diagnosed at
the same time via MPI.
