5. You will be asked to enter a Pico-Link ID (station number). PicoSoft
Pro will propose the Pico-Link ID = 2.
After entry, you will be asked to enter the device version number and
confirm the Pico-Link ID = 2 via the OK button.
PicoSoft Pro will now create a Pico-Link intraconnect. The first device
is automatically assigned Pico-Link ID 1 and is “promoted” to master.
The second device is assigned Pico-Link ID 2 and thus automatically
becomes a slave.
The Pico-Link Configurator area now looks as follows:
The MASTER is set to Pico-Link ID 1.
The Pico-Link Configurator area shows that the Pico-Link ID has been set
to 1. This setting cannot be changed since there must always be one master.
You can also use Send IO to specify whether each status change of the inputs
and outputs should be sent to the other Pico-Link stations.
TIP
In a project with more than one basic unit, the first
device is always the master (top left) and is thus
assigned Pico-Link ID 1. Every additional device is
assigned a Pico-Link ID greater than 1 and can never
be the master.
