2-byte PLC Interface
Checking the CfgData can be deactivated if a DP master is not capable of operating with the modules listed in the
GSD file. In that case the master can send any CfgData, and as many inputs and outputs are transferred as are
described by the CfgData.
Deactivation of the CfgData checking can also be useful if a specific address range is to be reserved in the PLC for
future extensions. In that case, more input and output data is to be transferred than is in fact necessary.
Deactivation of the CfgData check can be set in the UserPrmData:
Byte

CfgData checking is deactivated
In general, the I/O data from the modules (terminals or IE modules) is written by the coupler in the standard
sequence (first the complex, then the digital modules), as is also the case for other fieldbus couplers; this has already
been described in connection with the structure of the process image in the coupler. The decision on a module-to-
module basis as to whether the module is mapped in compact or complex form, which would otherwise be possible
under DP, is omitted when CfgData checking is deactivated. In that case, the setting made in the UserPrmData
applies to all modules:
The compact or complex mapping can be set in the UserPrmData:
Byte Bit Value Description
0
bin
Analog modules are mapped in compact form (only with the input or output user data)
9
2
1
bin
Analog modules are mapped in complex form (including control/status for register access
and the same data length in the inputs and outputs)
The extended GSD file must be used to deactivate CfgData checking and to specify compact/complex mapping
textually in the master's configuration tool.
