− “Selection...” button
Click the button to open the “Slave selection dialog”. This contains the
following slave types:
− The AS-i placeholder
− AS-i Standard Slave Universal
AS-i A/B Slave Universal
− Siemens modules arranged according to groups and applications
In the “Configuration” tab, you set the identification parameters for an AS-i
placeholder or a universal slave and set the parameters and addresses for all
slave types.
− I/O Code
− ID Code, ID1 Code, ID2 Code
The I/O and ID codes set the type and length of the data for specific slaves.
− Parameter
The AS-i parameter bits 0 to 3 have vendor- or slave-specific settings. For
more information, refer to the documentation of the relevant AS-i slave
device. The default setting of the parameter bits is “1”.
The “Digital addresses” and “Analog addresses” boxes display the start
addresses of the inputs and/or outputs. Unused addresses are grayed out
depending on the type of slave being used. You can change displayed start
addresses over the keyboard.
− Digital addresses
“Reserve max. address space” option:
This option is relevant if you want to pack the address area of the AS-i line
on which this module is located later (see also Section 6.2.1, Configuring
Properties of the AS-i Line, “Packing”).
Enable this option, if you want the full address area (4 input bits, 4 output
bits) to be reserved for the module after packing.
− Analog addresses
“Cyclic analog data”:
This option is activated as default. The analog data of the slave is accessed
in cyclic data traffic.
If you disable the “cyclic analog data” option, you can only access the
analog data of the slave via date records.
The configuration options differ depending on the type of I/O module as follows:
− AS-i placeholder module
The first four identifiers of an AS-i placeholder module (I/O Code, ID Code,
ID1 Code, ID2 Code) are set to the value “F
H
”. The values already
configured on the link module are adopted for this module only when these
defaults are set. The subsequent parameter bits are then irrelevant in this
case. Once again, the values already configured on the link are adopted.
