You can create online address books out of an S7-1200 or S7-1500 CPU if connection mode TCP/IP S7-1x00 has been selected. The address data are read directly from the CPU. Accessing the S7 project is not necessary.

Click on <Load address book from S7> to load the address book.

The CPU name of the address book is given automatically.

Address books that have been created online also contain operand type address information and hence can be used in connection mode TCP/IP as well. Just change the connection mode after creating the address book.
