Well today i have only simple questions i will try to explain them as best as i can (Excuses for the bad english); please i will like to know: 1. Is it possible to make a "First time comissioning" for a CPU if i do not have USB-DP PC Adapter or PCMCIA CP? What i mean is if it is possible to use the PN port of my CPU's to make the "first time comissioning"of several new CPU's. Ok the logic question is WHY to do so? Well it is because we have several CPU's and not all of our engineers have a PC adapter or CP. 2. If it is possible, in wich manual or FAQ can i find the right procedure to do it? 3. Is it possible to disable single I/O card's in a local or remote Rack? What i want to do is to disable one or several I/O cards if they are not used; they will be at the HW Config, but not physically present in the rack; in that way i will have a SF in the PLC but i wonder if there is a SFB like SFB12 (i have used it only for DP devices) to disable those I/O Cards. Thanks all you for you help and ave a very nice day.

Regarding disabling of Single I/O module, I am not aware of it. If some knows how to do it please let me know. thanks

Dear TEBANCH, When you use Step 7, you will find the option PLC->Edit ethernet node Here you can find the PLC's on the ethernet, with MAC address etc. Perhaps you will find more information in this link: Tips and Tricks for loading and testing S7 programs See point 6 and 9 TEBANCH 3. Is it possible to disable single I/O card's in a local or remote Rack? What i want to do is to disable one or several I/O cards if they are not used; they will be at the HW Config, but not physically present in the rack; in that way i will have a SF in the PLC but i wonder if there is a SFB like SFB12 (i have used it only for DP devices) to disable those I/O Cards. Perhaps you can use Dummy Module Here you will find some more information: how can you avoid diagnostics problems when implementing dummy module DM370? Best regards, Wizard
