5.2 Sequence of Steps from Choosing to Commissioningthe Analog Modules
Introduction
The following table contains the tasks that you have to perform one after the other
to commission analog modules successfully.
The sequence of steps is a suggestion, but you can perform individual steps either
earlier or later (for example, assign parameters to the module) or install other
modules or install, commission etc. other modules in between times.

Sequence of Steps

Table 5-3 Sequence of Steps from Choosing to Commissioning the Analog Module
Step Procedure Refer To...
1. Select the module Section 5.1 and specific module section from
Section 5.18
2. With some analog input modules: set
the measuring method and
measuring range by means of the
measuring range module
Section 5.4
3. Install the module in the SIMATIC S7
network “Installation” section in the manual for the
programmable controller being used:
S7-400/M7-400 Programmable Controllers,
Hardware and Installation
4. Assign parameters to module Section 5.7
5. Connect measuring sensor or loads
to module Sections 5.8 to 5.15
6. Commission configuration “Commissioning” section in the manual for the
programmable controller being used:
S7-400/M7-400 Programmable Controllers,
Hardware and Installation
7. If commissioning was not successful,
diagnose configuration Section 5.16
