For creating an address book, the S7 project has to be available. For the subsequent use, this is not necessary.
You create an address book using the S7 address book generator.

You can overwrite the entry in the CPU Name field. Thus, you can assign a unique name for the CPU that differs from that in the STEP 7 project. This is especially interesting when you use several STEP 7 projects in which the CPUs have the same name. |
Creating address books via the S7 address book generator
-
Open the S7 address book generator by one of the following ways:
-
On the General tab Address books node via the <Create address books> button
-
In the module configuration on the General tab under S7 – CPU Name: Select Create address book in the drop-down menu.
-
-
Click on the <Add project>.
-
Select a project file in the file browser
Now, the STEP 7 project with all configured CPUs is displayed.
-
Mark the CPUs you want to create the address books from and click on <Create address books>.
