2) With the SLAVE (Pico-Link ID 2)
The Pico-Link Configurator area for the slave looks quite different. Here
you can select or deselect both Send IO and Remote RUN. The selection for
Remote IO always remains inactive and is automatically determined by
PicoSoft Pro. The following table shows an overview of the configuration
settings and their meanings.
TIP
PicoSoft Pro primarily uses the term Pico-Link ID for
station number. In other words: Pico-Link ID =
Station number.

Description Master Slave
(Pico-Link ID=1) (Pico-Link ID=2...8)
Remote IO Remote IO basically means here decentralized, remotely located inputs
and outputs (I/O device).
If Remote IO is set, this is a slave that does not contain a circuit diagram.
The device is used as a remote input/output expansion module (I/O device).
This is therefore a “dumb” slave.
If a program is created in Circuit Diagram View for this slave, Remote IO
will be immediately disabled. The “dumb” slave becomes an “intelligent”
slave.
If a slave is to be used only as a simple input/output module, it must be
ensured that it does not contain a circuit diagram. In this case, the outputs
of the remote IO slave can only be set by the master. The inputs/outputs of
a remote expansion module can, however, be read by any “intelligent”
device in the intraconnect.
Cannot be set, is

PicoSoft Pro,
depending on
whether a program
was created for the
Pico-Link station.
