10 SPM
10.1 General notes
The memory accessible to the user is the SPM(Scratch Pad Memory). This
memory is used to store lots of internal data from which weights, statuses
and reports can be read and control data can be written.
The SPM table can be accessed via ModBus communication and fieldbus with
SPM interface.
In addition, individual bits are copied back and forth between digital inputs
and outputs and the SPM via the I/O configuration.
