Replace SIEMENS CPU S400 by noncompatible CPU

[HRagab]

I can't replace cpu S400 416-3XR05-0AB0 BY 416-3ER05-0AB0 in PCS7 Project
when using replace object to keep the original configuration in the project i found only the compactable CPU like attached photo.
How can i solve that

Go to the CPU properties and write down every parameter setting.
Then delete the CPU, add the new one, and adjust the properties to match the old CPU.

I upgraded some MPI/DP-only processors to PN/DP models to get Ethernet connectivity. I jotted down these instructions for Simatic Manager:
1) **Put CPU in "STOP" mode
2) verify program is correct.
3) Make sure the offline values of DBs match
Reconcile if not
4) Archive the "as found" project, with current online values
5) Save the project with a new name
6) In Hardware Config, try to "Replace object" the CPU. If it won't let you:
A) Delete CPU. If prompted to delete the program, select "NO"
B) Insert a new CPU. Make the network settings match the old system (Profibus node, etc.)
C) Make sure new CPU is connected to Profibus network in H.C.
i) Double-click on MPI/DP port in H.C.
ii) Set the type according to whatever the system was using (MPI/PROFIBUS)
iii) Select the existing network to connect to the port. Allow it to renumber
the existing unit, leaving inserted modules alone. In the software, the new
CPU is the "existing" module and is what needs to change here.
D) Save & Compile H.C. AND inside NetPro
E) In Simatic Manager, move the program blocks(the old one) to the CPU
**JUST OB, FB, FC, DB, VAT, UDT. OMIT SDBs!!**
7) Download the H.C. and program blocks to the CPU
***********************************
Here is the procedure I came up with to save the online DB values in the offline project. This is what I refer to in step 3 above:
Note which DBs have different actual values
1) Open OFFLINE DB
2) Click "Open Online Partner", click "OK"
3) Go to Data view. Make sure symbol names are present
4) Click "Save"
5) Click "OK" to allow overwrite (if prompted)
This saves the current online actual values to the offline archive

OR, if DB structures perfectly match:
1) Open ONLINE project
2) Copy DBs from ONLINE to OFFLINE.
3) Verify Symbols & Names still exist


*************************************


Please consider this at your own risk. As a precaution, I would make sure that the original CPU WITH ITS MEMORY CARD remain safe and unchanged during this process, in case something wonky goes wrong (it likely will...).

joseph_e2's instructions are certainty more thorough than mine are should be followed. But do write down every parameter setting of the old CPU and copy to the new.

Thank everyone i follow the steps and replace by delete without program delete and add a new one
