4.2 Configuration 
The remote I/O can be configured using a programming tool, SILworX or ELOP II Factory. 
Which programming tool should be used, depends on the revision status of the operating 
system (firmware):  
  ELOP II Factory is required for operating system versions prior to 7. 
  SILworX is required for operating system version 7 and beyond. 
i 
ELOP II Factory is required to load a new operating system (version 7 and beyond) into a 
remote I/O with a CPU operating system version prior to 7. SILworX is then required once 
the loading procedure is completed. 
 
 
 
4.3  Configuring a Remote I/O with SILworX 
In the Hardware Editor, the remote I/Os are represented like a base plate equipped with the 
following modules: 
  Processor module (CPU) 
  Input module (AI 8) 
  Output module (AO 4) 
 
Double-click the module to open the Detail View with the corresponding tabs. The tabs are 
used to assign the global variables configured in the user program to the system variables 
of the corresponding module. 
 
4.3.1  Parameters and Error Codes for the Inputs and Outputs 
The following tables specify the system parameters that can be read and set for the inputs 
and outputs, including the corresponding error codes. 
In the user program, the error codes can be read using the variables assigned within the 
logic. 
The error codes can also be displayed in SILworX.
