Under "Basic parameters", you can establish the connection between the technology object
and the TM PosInput technology module.
You select the technology module in a subsequent dialog box. All TM PosInput technology
modules (central or distributed) that are configured for use with a "Counting and
measurement" technology object under the S7-1500 CPU or ET 200SP CPU are available
for selection.
After selecting the technology module, you can open the device configuration associated
with the technology module by clicking the"Device configuration" button.
The technology module parameter settings required for the use of the technology object are
made in the "Extended parameters" of the technology object.
For a technology module with several channels, you select the number of the channel for
which the technology object is valid.
Note
A channel can be assigned to only
one
technol
ogy object. A channel that is already assigned
to a technology object can no longer be selected.
Synchronization of the parameter values
If, after assignment of the channel to the technology object, there is an inconsistency
between the parameter values under "Parameters" and in the technology object, a button
with a corresponding inquiry appears. When you click the button, the parameter values
under "Parameters" are overwritten by the parameter values of the technology object within
STEP 7 (TIA Portal). The current parameter values of the technology object are displayed
under "Parameters".
