5. Configuration
To add a module to the basic device configuration:
– open a PR200 project in ALP programming software
– open the tool ‘Device configuration’
– select the item ‘Extension modules’
– add PRM module using the context menu (Fig. 5.1)
Fig. 5.1
The PRM counting number, when counting from left to right from PR200, determines the slot num-
ber in the configuration (Fig. 4.1). The module next to PR200 should be added to the configuration
first to be assigned to the slot 1. The next added module is always assigned to the slot 2. If there is
no module assigned to the slot 1, it is impossible to assign the module to the slot 2.
The data exchange between PR200 and PRM at the slot 2 is carried out through PRM at the slot 1.
If PRM at the slot 1 is powered off, the data exchange between PR200 and PRM at the slot 2 is in-
terrupted.
You can remove PRM from the project only after disconnecting all the variables connected to its
inputs and outputs.
You can change the position of PRM in the configuration using the context menu.
The project can be transferred to P200 irrespective of whether the modules are connected or not.
When a module is added to configuration, additional inputs I1…I8
and outputs O1…O8 with the module number in brackets appear in
the workspace (Fig. 5.2).
The inputs from I6 (1) to I8 (1) are the inputs 6…8 of the module at
the slot 1.
The inputs from I1 (2) to I2 (2) are the inputs 1, 2 of the module at
the slot 2
When have been added to the project, the module is ready for oper-
ation. The following optional settings can be made:

the parameter is:
