The mouse cursor changes automatically to the insert slave cursor. Click on the
position where you want to insert the new slave. A dialog box appears where you
have to select one or more slaves.
The Available slaves list-box displays all slave devices present in the GSD
directory. A filtering feature is available is you want to view by a special slave
family. If a slave is selected, information about that slave appears below the
Available slaves list box..
With a double click or with the button Add, the slave appears in the right list box.
All devices in this box will be connected to the active master displayed in the
Master window. You must select each slave one-by-one. You can also give each
a device a name or a short description in the Description Field.
The Station address field increments with each addition of a new slave. However,
this address may be overwritten.
Note: It is possible to choose one slave several times but each device must have its own station
address to distinguish them on the network.
Configuring a Slave
Slave-specific configuration is accomplished using the Slave Configuration dialog
box. Here, modules and associated data are assigned to the address of the
process data image in the master device. These addresses correspond to the
application in the PLC.
Select the menu Settings - DP Slave Configuration or double-click on a slave
to open Slave Configuration dialog box.
