9.1 Hardware configuration

The hardware configuration function allows you to configure the PLC modules and set their

parameters on screen. You can set or modify the CPU operating environments, not by set-

ting various DIP switches but by simply downloading the configuration information to the

CPU.

The following settings can be done with the hardware configuration function:

• Configuration of the PLC modules

• Configuration and addressing of the PROFIBUS-DP

• Setting of the retention memory area, node address and other CPU properties

• Addressing of the I/O modules

• Setting of the range and addresses of the analog inputs

The hardware configuration screen consists of the following three windows:

• Station editing window

Shows how the PLC modules are configured.

• Hardware catalog window

Lists the components of the PLC modules available. The listed components include

racks, modules, and DP slave nodes, and are grouped into the PROFIBUS-DP and S7-

300 components (the S7-400 components are not available with the YS 840DI system).

• Rack details window

Shows the configuration, designation, address and other details of each module for a

rack or DP slave.
