†
Internal process data mapping with data format “Standard”. Depending on the fieldbus specification and the data
format of the communicating fieldbus components the bytes and/or words can be reversed during data transfer.
5.6.1 Time Stamp Function
With time stamp function (ETS = edge time stamp) enabled, at every corresponding edge the time
value of the timer is stored in the process image as an ETS entry together with the status of the
inputs and a running number.
The module does not use any bytes in the output range. It uses 60 Bytes in the input range for 15 ETS
entries each with 4 bytes.
5.6.2 Structure of an ETS Entry
Input image PII
After the edge transition, the status of the inputs is stored here. The input
byte has the following bit assignments:
Bit 0: DI 0
Bit 1: DI 1
Bit 2: DI 2
Bit 3: DI 3
Bit 4 … 7: reserved (0)
Running Number RN
The RN (running number) is a consecutive number from 0 to 127. It
describes the chronological sequence of the edges
Time stamp ETS_US
The 16-bit timer (0 ... 65535μs) in the u-remote module is started as soon
as the power supply is switched on and after (216 -1) μs restarts at 0.
