Tip
Configuring Central Racks
After you have selected a slot of a module rack, you can open the context-sensitive
menu (right-click) Insert Object or Replace Object to view a list of modules you
can insert. This feature saves you the search through the Hardware Catalog. You
select from all the modules that are listed in the currently available catalog profile.
Display of Interfaces and Interface Submodules
The interfaces and interface submodules are shown in the configuration table in a
separate row. The row has the same name as the interface (for example, X1) or - if
the module has slots for interface submodules - bears the prefix "IF" (for example,
IF1).
With integrated interfaces the name of the interface appears in the "Module"
column; with modules with slots for interface submodules you can copy a suitable
interface submodule (IF) from the "Hardware Catalog" window to the appropriate
row using drag & drop.
2.3.5 Displaying the Version of the CPU Operating System in the
'Hardware Catalog' window
When a CPU has more than one operating system this CPU is shown as a folder
with different order number icons in the "Hardware Catalog" window. The different
versions of the CPU operating system are arranged under the order number icons.
Please check the version of your CPU's operating system and select the correct
version in the "Hardware Catalog" window.
