Principle
A control system consists of several devices, which may be linked to
one or more display units. A device may be a PLC, a computer, a speed
drive, etc. The display unit itself is deemed to be a device, enabling it to
have its own variables, such as date, time, etc.
From the viewpoint of XBT L100•, a device is defined by two
characteristics: the equipment address and symbol. The address
depends solely on the protocol used.
One display unit can communicate with up to fifteen different devices.
Configuration equipment window
Select Equipment Symbols from the Configuration menu to create,
modify or delete equipment symbols.
By default, the list contains one device with a default address, whose
symbol is "MASTER". This equipment cannot be deleted, but its name
and address can be modified.
A symbol is associated with one address only, and vice versa.
