Module editor
The module editor includes between 4 and 7 tabs, depending on the module type:
General, Parameters, Ethernet Parameters, I/O Image, Diagnostics, Options and I/O
Mapping. Access to these tabs depends on whether or not the island is connected to the
network or eldbus.
“General” tab
This read-only tab (island online or ofine) provides general information and displays the
main technical characteristics of the selected module.
“Settings” tab
This tab, accessible when the island is ofine, contains the operating parameters of the
selected module. It can be used, for example, to:
 Select the display format for parameters: decimal or hexadecimal.
 Congure the module. The congurable items (cells with white backgrounds) depend
on the module type. Depending on the type of module, the main parameters are:
 All modules: user label assignment: free text eld for up to 50 characters (1)
 Digital input modules: lter time and choice of positive or negative logic for each
channel
 Digital output modules: the behaviour upon short circuit or overload (manual
or automatic reset), choice of positive or negative logic for each channel, default
fallback position for each channel (state 0 or 1)
 Analog input modules: the operating range, offset value, maximum counter value,
ltering medium, individual channel operation (active/inactive) for each channel
 Analog output modules: the data format, output range, individual channel
operation (active/inactive) and default fallback position (hold last value or set
to predened value) for each channel
 Application-specic module for TeSys Quickt or TeSys model U motor starters:
the choice of positive or negative logic for each channel, behaviour upon short circuit
or overload (manual or automatic reset), and default fallback position for each
channel (state 0 or 1)
 Counter module: denition of the counter function and how it works
(see page 78)
 Network interface modules: the amount of memory reserved for data exchanges
with the HMI terminal (directly connected to the network interface module). This data
can also be accessed by the island master. If a Modicon STB island has a CANopen
extension, a parameter allows you to dene the address of the last standard
CANopen device connected to the island.
Online help for the selected module can be displayed to show the limits and
operating values of these parameters.
“I/O Image” tab
This tab can be used to:
 Read and modify the module I/O data, when the island is online.
 Write a user dened label for any image I/O data. This function is used to identify
the important island memory slots, before writing the application.
