8.1.1 Configuring the inputs/outputs for local expansions
If you have expanded the XControl PLC with XN300 slice modules and
assembled them into a system block mounted on the DIN-rail, you can set up
the corresponding configuration in XSOFT-CODESYS-3 as follows:
▶ Make sure that all XN300 slice modules are connected and powered.
▶ Open the XSOFT-CODESYS-3 project.
▶ In the device tree, select the "Device (XC-303)" device.
▶ Select the "Add device..." option in the context menu.
▶ Select the "XN300-Master" under "Miscellaneous" in the "Add device" dia-
log box.
▶ Confirm by clicking on the "Add Device" button.
The XN300_Master will appear in the device tree.
▶ Select the "XN300-Master" in the device tree.
▶ In the "Add device" dialog box, under "Miscellaneous," select the XN300
slice modules that you used to make a system block with the XControl.
Select the XN300 slice modules in the same order that they are physi-
cally connected to the XControl.
The device tree will now show all the devices.
