1.5 Setting TIM module parameters
Software
24 System Manual, 07/2009, C79000-G8976-C222-07
In both cases, the system checks immediately whether the module is permitted in the slot.
Modules can be moved to a new suitable slot at any time with the mouse.
Once a station is complete and has all the required modules, it must be saved with the
Station / Save
menu. When you close hardware configuration, a dialog opens automatically
prompting you to save your entries.
When you save, the consistency of your entries is checked and a message output in the
configuration errors are detected.
With the
Station / Print...
menu, you can print out the configured data of the station.
1.4.3 Setting module parameters
When you double-click on one of the modules installed in the rack in the hardware
configuration, or when you select
Object Properties
in the context menu, the
Properties
dialog is opened allowing you to set parameters for a module. Here, you can adapt the
properties of the particular object precisely to its requirements. The content of the
Properties
dialog depends on the module type. Only practical parameters for this type are displayed.
Since each module has a set of default parameters, it is not absolutely necessary to set
parameters at this point. As an alternative, you can also open the same
Properties
dialog in
NetPro.
Note
At least all the TIM modules of the project should have parameters set using the
Properties
dialog, for example to create the interfaces.
You can set parameters in the
Properties
dialog both in
hardware configuration
or in
network
configuration
(NetPro).
1.5 Setting TIM module parameters
1.5.1 Overview of the tabs of the properties dialog
The parameters for a TIM module are divided among various tabs of the
Properties - TIM
dialog. The following tabs are available:
●
General
tab with general information and for modifying the module name or adding comments
●
Addresses
tab with information on I/O address areas of the CPU
●
Special
tab for setting parameters for an ST1 master in a dial-up network and for the diagnostic
buffer
