The information provided in this manual and in the system/function manuals supports you in
commissioning the systems.
Conventions
CPU: When the term "CPU" is used in this manual, it applies to the CPUs of the
automation system as well as to the interface modules of the ET 200MP distributed I/O
system.
STEP 7: In this documentation, "STEP 7" is used as a synonym for all versions of the

Note
A note contains important information on the product described in the documentation, on the
handling of the product or on the section of the documentation to which particular attention

Security information
provides products and solutions with industrial security functions that support the
secure operation of plants, solutions, machines, equipment and/or networks. They are
important components in a holistic industrial security concept. With this in mind, ’
products and solutions undergo continuous development. recommends strongly
that you regularly check for product updates.
For the secure operation of products and solutions, it is necessary to take suitable
preventive action (e.g. cell protection concept) and integrate each component into a holistic,
state-of-the-art industrial security concept. Third-party products that may be in use should
also be considered. You can find more information about industrial security on the Open-source software is used in the firmware of the product described. Open Source
