Fast online configuring through 'Autodiscovery' In STEP7 V5.3+SP3 and higher, all Ethernet devices can be detected by means of their IP address and/or the SNMP protocol (SNMP V1) and transferred to the configuration.As an alternative to STEP 7, the NCM PC (included on the SIMATIC NET CD) can also be used to perform the configuration.
Already configured S7 modules from the STEP 7 project can be transferred directly.
