7.8.1 Manually customizing the process data
Each individual byte of the process data can be customized. After clicking on a byte, a
drop-down list of information that can be assigned to the byte is displayed. The length
of each “information block” is limited to one byte (8 bits). A single byte can therefore be
used, for example, to transmit 8 beam states.
NBB, FBB and LBB are the actual measured values. For example, NBB transmits how
many light beams in the zone are blocked.
In addition, the Q
int
status (states of zones 1-4) and the Q
L
status (Smart Task states) can
be transmitted via a byte.
The System Status is a diagnostic byte that transmits various diagnostic information,
chapter 7.2.
