In configuration window you can assign one of three passwords. It is necessary to enter correct password. If
password does not exists, user is asked to create it.
IMPORTANT: Very important parts of the control algorithm must not be locked in PLC sheets.
Certification authorities may request their unlocking if necessary.
5.2 Shared IO and Virtual IO
5.2.1 Virtual Binary Outputs (VBOUT) module
Several virtual modules are available. One of them is Virtual Binary Outputs module (VBOUT)
which enables use of Prg. states binary signals with the built-in PLC. Prg. states signal can not be directly
configured as a PLC module input. Therefore it is necessary to use VBOUT module as interface between a Prg.
state signal and a PLC module.
Up to 4 VBOUT modules are available, each VBOUT modules represents 8 binary output signals.
5.2.2 Shared virtual inputs and outputs
It is possible to share Binary and Analog values between all the controllers via CAN bus, thus saving physical
Inputs and Outputs and excess wiring.
How to add a virtual module is shown in the following picture.
