3.9 Configuring the analog expansion unit

Processing analog input/output values
You access the now configured analog input/output values via marker words
(MW). The process image is provided in the marker words.
Marker configuration with operation on 800 standard
(from device version 02)

The parameters configured here are stored retentively and only
in the expansion unit, not in the easy800 standard.
This means: You must complete this configuration again when
exchanging a configurable expansion unit.

A new analog expansion unit is factory set for all inputs/outputs
to be activated. All the assigned marker words are thus also
taken.
For your expansion unit only configure the analog inputs/outputs
that are actually required.
This has several advantages:
• More free marker words for use in the program or in the
visualization.
• Only relevant error messages, as otherwise an activated but
unconnected input will signal a fault such as a wire
breakage.
• Shorter reaction times due to the faster data exchange
between easy800 standard and expansion unit.
