7.3.1.2 Parameters for the Remote I/Os
The following system parameters are available for remote I/Os:
Setting for safe
operation
Each individual remote I/O within a resource must have
a unique rack ID.
200…1023
Unique value
within the
resource.
Safety time in milliseconds
20...22 500 ms
Watchdog time in milliseconds
8...5000 ms
Highest value in ms for the time slice used for
communication during a resource cycle, see the
communication manual (HI 801 101 E),
2...5000 ms
Monitoring time for command communication
600…60 000 ms
Timeout [ms] >= 2 resend time [ms]
A connection loss is detected upon expiration of the
defined time. In the worst case scenario, the status
indicators in the Control Panel of the parent resource
are refreshed upon expiration of the defined timeout.
Timeout applies for both the remote I/O and its parent
resource.
Time interval after which a message is resent after the
previous message was not acknowledged by the
communication partner.
300…30 000 ms
Resends increase availability and compensate
disturbances in the network.
HIMA recommends using values equal to or greater
than the default value to ensure that the network is only
loaded if required.
An acknowledgment for the received message is sent to
the communication partner no later than upon expiration
of the Alive Interval.
250…29 950 ms
Alive Interval [ms] <= Resend Time [ms] - 50 ms. HIMA
recommends using values equal to or greater than the
default value to ensure that the network is only loaded if
required.

7.3.1.3 Hardware System Variables for Setting the Parameters
These variables are used to change the behavior of the controller while it is operating in specific
states. These variables can be set in the hardware Detail View located in the SILworX Hardware
Editor.
Setting for
safe operation
Used to prevent forcing and to stop it immediately
Emergency Stop 1
...Emergency Stop 4
Emergency stop switch to shut down the controller
if faults are detected by the user program
