Configuration via technology object
For central and distributed use, we recommend the convenient, graphics-assisted
configuration using a technology object. A detailed description of this configuration can be
found starting from section High_Speed_Counter technology object (Page 92).
You specify the "Operation with technology object "Counting and measuring"" in the device
configuration of the technology module: see section Operating mode (Page 174).
You can assign the technology module and counting channel in the basic parameters of the
technology object: see section Basic parameters (Page 98).
Parameter setting via hardware configuration
You specify the "Manual operation (without technology object)" in the device configuration of
the technology module: see section Operating mode (Page 174).
Additional support for parameter setting via hardware configuration is available in the
context-sensitive help for the parameters in STEP 7 (TIA Portal). A description of the control
and feedback interface is available in the following sections:
