3.5.1 Parameter programming
The programming of digital inputs in the Siemens application is very flexible. There are no digital termi-
nals assigned only for certain function. You can choose the terminal of your choice for the certain func-
tion, in other words, functions appear as parameters which the operator defines a certain input for. For
a list of functions for the digital inputs, see Table32 on page 45.
Also Time Channels can be assigned to digital inputs. See more information on page 53.
The selectable values of the programmable parameters are of type
DigIN SlotA.1
in which
‘DigIN / dI’ stand for digital input.
‘Slot_’ refers to the board;
A and B are Siemens drive standard boards, D and E are option boards (see Figure 10). See
Chapter 3.5.1.2.
The number after the board letter refers to the respective terminal on the selected board.
Hence, SlotA.1 / A.1 means terminal DIN1 on the standard board in board slot A. The parameter (signal)
is not connected to any terminal, i.e. it is not used, if, instead of a letter, the final number is preceded by
a ‘0’ (for example DigIN Slot0.1 / dI 0.1).
