General settings
In the left of this view you can enter for your process image a name, a comment as
well as a revision number, consisting of a major revision number and a minor
revision number. The checksum for the process image (CRC) is also displayed here
(see section 8.2.3).
On the right you can define the size of the process image and the update rate. The
possible values are dependent on the maximum segment length in the complete
Flexi Line system (see Table 18).
If a cell in the table is displayed in red, the related combination of segment length
and data size is not possible with the update rate set. To be able to select this
combination, you must first set a higher value for the update rate.
The update rate is identical for all stations and therefore not synchronous with the
logic cycle, which can vary from station to station.
