Configuration of the valve terminal without extension
terminals
The settings of the desired configuration, i.e. setting of various identifiers, is generally done with the help of the GSD
file. Up to 7 identifiers (slots) can be assigned.
When the configuration is written, the number of input and output bytes is set in the process image and checked
against permitted limits. By using different identifiers the user can assign the input and output bytes in the
process image at will.
A valve terminal has a maximum of 32 inputs and a maximum of 24 outputs. This corresponds to a maximum of 4
input bytes and a maximum of 3 output bytes. For this reason never more than the above specified number of input /
output bytes may be configured in the process image of a valve terminal- However, taking the limits specified above
into account (32 inputs, 24 outputs; 4 input bytes, 3 output bytes) it is possible to configure both less than, but also
more than the number of input / output bytes that are actually physically present on the valve terminal.
Example:
Physically present
Configuration
Consequence
16 valves
1 bytes
Only valves 1 to 8 can be addressed
2 bytes
Valves 1 to 16 can be addressed
3 bytes
Valves 1 to 16 can be addressed,
1 byte remains unusable in process image
4 bytes

Manual configuration
If no GSD file is available the configuration must be performed manually. The following specifications apply. One
configuration telegram can contain one or several identifications, whereby the user can make the necessary allo-
cations at will. the identifications have the following structure:
Bit 7
Bit 6
Bit 5 - 4
Bit 3 - 0
Consistency
0 = byte/word
1 = total length
bytes/words
0 = bytes
1 = words (2 bytes)
Input/Output
00 = spec. identifier format
01 = input
10 = output
11 = input/output
Data length (number)
0000 = 1 byte/word

0010 = 3 bytes/words

1111 = 16 bytes/words
