Configuring stations Which devices have to be configured?
Every line in a Suconet K network is assigned to a
single master. The master is the first logical station on
the line and controls all the other stations connected
to that line, which are known as slaves. A separate
configuration is created for each master. The
configuration contains:
All the local components of the master (basic unit
and any local expansion modules)
All slaves that are connected to the same line as
the master. It is important to differentiate between
slaves that have their own CPU and those that do
not:
Slaves with CPU
Slaves with CPU are configured twice:
Firstly, they are slaves on the same line as the master
and are therefore specified in the master’s
configuration. In this case, only the basic unit is
specified, and not any local expansion modules that
might be connected to it.
Secondly, these slaves run their own application
program and thus act as masters in their own right.
As masters, they have a separate configuration
which describes the actual station (basic unit), all
local expansion modules and any other stations that
are connected to it.
