Distributed I/O Solution 1
Configuration Software
The number of tabs provided by the editor is determined by the mode in which you
execute the Advantys Configuration Software (Local or Online). The editor displays
some or all of the following tabs: General, etc.
This read-only tab (island online or offline), provides general information and displays
the key technical characteristics of the selected module.
This tab, accessible when the island is offline, contains the operating settings for the
selected module, some of which can be changed by the user. Among other things,
you can:
b Select the display format for parameters: decimal or hexadecimal.
b Identify a module as “mandatory”. That module is then designated as critical for
island operations. If the module fails or is not present, the island will no longer be
operational (it will stop).
b Declare the scanning priority for the digital input modules. This allows you to
assign more frequent scanning to up to 10 modules per island, so that they will be
considered as “fast” modules.
b Configure the module. The configurable items (cells with white backgrounds)
depend on the type of I/O module. Depending on the type of module, the main
parameters are:
v user label assignment: free text field, max. 50 characters,
v digital input modules: filter time and choice of positive or negative logic for each
channel,
v digital output modules, the behavior upon short circuit or overload (manual or
automatic reset), the choice of positive or negative logic for each channel, the default
fallback position for each channel (0 or 1 state).
v analog input modules, with the offset and scaling for each channel,
v the analog output modules, with for each channel, the refresh rate and the default
fallback position (maintain the value or assume a predefined value),
v parallel interfaces for Tego Power and TeSys Model U applications, the choice of
positive or negative logic for each channel, the behavior upon short circuit or
overload (manual or automatic reset), and the default fallback position for each
channel (0 or 1 state).
v counter module, the definition of the counting function and its operation, see
page 38,
v network interface modules, the amount of memory reserved for data exchanges
with the Operator Terminal (directly connected to the network interface
module).This data is also accessible by the island’s master device. If an
Advantys STB island has a CANopen extension, a parameter allows you to define
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.
