3.4.2.1 Demo licences
The demo period runs for the first 720 hours of operation of the Motion Terminal. During this period,
non-permanently licensed Motion Apps can be temporarily activated.
The remaining duration of the demo period is displayed in the upper right corner of the WebConfig
interface and can be read out via the information channel of the transfer mode

information.
During the demo period, the "Use of demo licences" option can be activated and deactivated as often
as desired. This is possible via the display in the upper right corner of the WebConfig interface or via
the "Terminal settings" channel of the transfer mode

target and channel.
At the time of switching, a Motion App must not be operating on any of the valves (valve state ≠ "2"
(running)). After activation of the “Use of demo licences” option, the number of available Motion App
licences increases correspondingly and they can be assigned and used as usual.
After the expiration of the demo period, the "Use of demo licences" option may be automatically
deactivated. If Motion Apps that are not regularly licensed are operated at this time, all Motion Apps
are stopped. Ten hours before the end of the demo period, a corresponding warning is entered in the
malfunction lists of all valve slots.
The yellow controller LED

demo licences" is active.
3.4.3 Parameter
The basic conditions for operating a Motion App are set using system and app-specific parameters.
Four types of parameters are defined:
– System parameters describe the components that are connected to the Motion Terminal (tubing,
drive, mounting position, etc.). System parameters apply to a valve position and thus to all Motion
Apps running on this valve position.
–
Application parameters describe the application of the Motion App (moving mass, travel time,
minimum force, etc.). Application parameters can be stored separately on each valve for each
Motion App.
– Tuning parameters enable the behaviour of a Motion App to be finely adjusted via the application
parameters. The system behaviour can thus be optimised for special applications. Tuning parame-
ters can be stored separately on each valve for each Motion App.
– Sensor parameters describe the sensors connected to the inputs of an input module. Sensor
parameters can be read and written from every valve. They are not a component of the parameter
sets (
è
3.4.3.9 Parameter sets) and can be used equally from all valves.
The following sections relate to transferring the parameters using the higher-order controller (PLC).
Since communication only allows for integer values, the unit-based values are increased by a factor to
return integer values.
Example:
A parameter can be defined in the range of 0 … 100 mm in 0.01 mm steps. A value in the range
0 … 10000 is transferred for this purpose. One increment (digit) therefore corresponds to 0.01 mm.
