5. Click in the Format/balance column to specify the transfer
format using the formats Integer (2 bytes) and Long integer
(4 bytes).
Floating point numbers are always transferred as 4-by
te val-
ues and further setting is not necessary here.
For the formats Integer and Long in
teger specify the num-
ber of Decimal pla
ces and the total number of places to be
output (Field length). The field length is calculated including
the points, but without any commas displayed for the thou-
sands positions and it is only used for representation in one of
the Gantner programs. Spe
cifying three decimal places dis-
plays, for example, the value 1234 as 1,234.
After closure of the dialog the number of transferred places
and the uni
t are displayed in the column Format/balance,
e.g. ff,fff.f [kN] for an output in the unit kN with a total of
seven characters with one decimal place and the decimal
point.
If negative numbers occ
ur, the
display in this example is lim-
ited to -9,999.9 (seven characters wi
thout the comma).
6. Save the changes in a file and close the module once you have
made
all the changes:
or File > Save to file and finish.
The file is created within the project folder and the file name
is generated automaticall
y. The project folder bears the same
name as the project. The generated file name contains the
address of the Test Controller through which the module is
connected and an identifier for the relevant module.
If the modules are connected through a Test Controller, new
module settings must also be updated there. Select
or File
> Write project (update) in the test
.commander. The project
file is in this case automatically updated.
5.7 Specifying the alarm monitoring
In order to set parameters you should be connected to the mod-
ule and have called the configuration program (ICP 100 which is
started automatic
ally by test.commander): Mark a module and
select Configuration from the context menu or double click on a
module or module signal (variable) to start the configuration pro-
gram. Then carry out all the module settings in the window of this
program.
You can however also configure a p
roje
ct without a direct con-
nection and then, once you have establ
ished the connection, load
the corresponding files into the modules and load Test Controller.
