Part number:

Description:
As from STEP 7 version V5.2 you have the option of updating your module catalog.

If the PG/PC on which STEP 7 is installed has a direct Internet access, you can download the required software components (Hardware Support Packages) directly from the relevant Internet page. The individual steps for integration in the module catalog of the HW Config are described in Entry ID 17581199.
If the PG/PC on which STEP 7 is installed does not have direct Internet access, the download "STEP 7_HSP.zip" is available in Entry ID 23183356 for updating the hardware catalog of your STEP 7 installation. The download contains the software components (Hardware Support Packages) needed for the modules and can be transferred to the PC with the STEP 7 installation, for example with a memory stick.
The individual steps for integration in the module catalog of the HW Config are described in Entry ID 22374877.
