3.17.4.3 Parameterizing the MASTERDRIVES MC 
The following parameters must be set in the SIMOVERT 
MASTERDRIVES MC (refer to the User Documentation 
„MASTERDRIVES MC“):  
Parameter Significance/setting 
P740  Own node address, transceiver/slaves: 1...200 (dispatcher=0) 
P741 
Telegram failure time, if the telegram fails, fault F056 is output. 
The usual values: > 3 x bus cycle time (refer to P746) 
P742  Send power, dependent on the length of the fiber-optic cable 
P743  Number of nodes in the SIMOLINK ring 
P745  Number of channels (this is only relevant for the dispatcher) 
P746  Bus cycle time (only relevant for the dispatcher) 
P749 
Read address, which is generated from the node address and 
the channel number, whereby the node address does not have 
to match its own node address (P740)  
Example: 2.0 = node address 2, channel number 0 
P751 
Send data, 
Index 1 = channel 1 (low word), 
Index 2 = channel 1 (high word), 
Index 3 = channel 2 (low word), 
etc. 
P755 
SIMOLINK configuration 
0x100 should be entered for modes 4 and 5 so that 
synchronization is realized (this is valid from firmware release 
1.4 for MASTERDRIVES MC)
