The selection of the module for a modular slave is done like described in the following:
In the list on the left part of the dialog select the desired input- or output-module and
press button Select to get it into the window on the right hand. Wrong entries in that
window can be corrected via the button Delete. Inserted modules will be immediately
displayed in the configuration tree. If they are selected there, the appropriate dialog
Profibus Modul will be available, showing the input-, output- and diagnosis address of
the module. If you select a channel which has been inserted with the module, the
dialog Profibus Channel will open, showing the address of the channel. For each of
these both dialogs there might be defined a different title by a setting in the
configuration file.
As the maximum data lengths specified in the GSD-file (Max. length of input data,
Max. length of output data, Max. length of in-/output data) and the maximum
number of modules (Max. number of modules) must be respected, this information is
displayed in both module lists. The left block displays the maximum possible values
for the device, the right the values resulting from summing the values selected in the
configuration. If the maximum values are exceeded, an error message is issued.
The dialog lists in the left window all the in- and output modules available in the
slave's GSD-file, while the right window contains the configuration currently selected
for this device as it relates to in- and outputs.
If this is a modular slave (a device that can be equipped with various I/O modules), the
selection proceeds as follows: In the left-hand list, the desired in- or output module is
selected by mouse-click and copied into the right window using the Select >> button.
Incorrect entries can be corrected by selecting the undesired module in the right
window and pressing the Delete button.
This kind of selection is not possible for non-modular slaves. These directly enforce a
closed display of their in- and outputs in the right window. Undesired modules can
then by removed by selecting and using Delete.
The Properties button leads to the 'Module properties' dialog for the in- or output
module currently selected in the left or the right list. It shows the Name, the Config
(module description coding according to PROFIBUS standard) and the in- and output
lengths of the module in bytes. If the module description in the GSD-file contains
specific parameters in addition to the standard set, these are listed here with their
values and range of values. If the Symbolic names option is activated, the symbolic
names are then used.
