STEP 7 V5.1 SP2 or higher is required for configuring the full functional scope of the CP 443-5 Basic. In Version V5 or higher of STEP 7, the configuration data of the CP can also optionally be stored on the CPU and is retained even if there is a power failure. A module can therefore be replaced without having to reload the configuration data from a programming device. The CPU transfers the configuration data to the CP during start-up.
Configuration and programming of all SIMATIC S7 controllers connected to the network is possible over the network.
The function blocks for using the open communication (SEND/RECEIVE) can be found in the SIMATIC NET library following installation of STEP 7.
