10.2.1 Module types and module naming
Module types Thedistancemeasuringdeviceoersthefollowingmoduletypes:
Module type Description
Input modules
Input modules transmit process data to the master.
Inputmodulescancontaincongurationdataas
an option.
Input and output
modules
Input and output modules can transmit values to
the master as well as receive values. These mod-
ulescancontaincongurationdataasanoption.
Setup modules
Setupmodulescontainonlycongurationdata.
Setup modules cannot transfer any process data
to the master or receive process data from the
master.
Table 55: Module types
Module naming scheme
<Module number>-<Name>/<Signature>, <Name>/<Signature>, …
Component Description
<Designation> The module names are read from left to right, and
specify the values without any gaps which are trans-
ported by the module. A value further to the left is
transmitted before a value further to the right in this
case. Input and output values count independently of
each other.
<Signature> Thesignaturespecieswhetherthevalueisaninputor
an output value, and how many words or bytes the val-
ue contains. The signature has the following structure:
<direction><number><unit>
<Direction>
• i: For an input value for the master
• o: For an output value from the master to the device
<Unit>
• b: Bytes
• w: Word
Table 56: Description of the naming scheme
Example
5-Distance/i2w, Preset Dyn/o2w
Module 5 consists of two values:
• Distance / i2w
Input value to the master consisting of 2 words with the “Distance”
designation
• Preset Dyn/o2w
Input value from the master to the device consisting of 2 words with the
“Preset Dyn” designation
