Functions
Data transfer between the Magelis XBT terminal and the PLC via the exchange
area defined by the user within the Advantys STB memory.
Two word tables have to be configured (sizes, labels) in the memory of the
NIM communication module using the Advantys STB SPU 1ppp configuration
software:
b One written by the terminal and read by the PLC (HMI->PLC).
b The other written by the PLC and read by the terminal (PLC->HMI).
The Advantys STB distributed I/O island is used as a neutral gateway between
the PLC and the terminal.
The terminal can display information coming from the PLCs and, conversely,
control automatic functions in the normal way.
Display of data of the Advantys STB island on the Magelis terminal:
b Input and output values
b Internal states
When the Advantys STB is in test mode, writing of output values of the island.
Note: Functions and :
b do not require communication to be established between the PLC and the
Advantys STB island.
b cannot be performed simultaneously.
