7.3.2 Operating modes in the transfer mode Tx (From PLC)
Slave (PLC writes) — PLC sends digital output data to the UE410-EN3
In this operating mode the PLC sends writing requirements as master to the UE410-EN3 in
order to set the digital outputs. If this operating mode is desired:
Chose the operating mode Slave (PLC Writes) in the Tx (From PLC) Transfer Mode
selection field. All the further settings do not apply.
Activate Save in Flash and click Submit to save the selection.
Only if Save in Flash is checked, will the new configuration be stored in the UE410-EN3’s
non-volatile memory and be available after a restart of the gateway. Submit without
checking Save in Flash allows, for example, the testing of new configurations without
overwriting the old configuration.

Master (Poll the PLC) — UE410-EN3 requests the data from the PLC.
In this operating mode the UE410-EN3 as master requests the data continuously from the
PLC in order to set the digital output settings. If this operating mode is desired:
Select the operating mode Master (Poll the PLC) in the Tx (From PLC) Transfer Mode
selection field.
Carry out the following settings on the same web page (see Tab. 63 on page 55):
– PLC IP Address
– PLC Device ID
– Digital Output Polling Enable
– Digital Output Setting PLC Address
– Digital Output Setting Polling Rate
Activate Save in Flash and click Submit to save the selection.
Only if Save in Flash is checked, will the new configuration be stored in the UE410-EN3’s
non-volatile memory and be available after a restart of the gateway. Submit without
checking Save in Flash allows, for example, the testing of new configurations without
overwriting the old configuration.
