Overview of settings
The transducer can handle numerous measurement tasks. You only have to make the
following settings:
● Settings with a configuration tool, for example STEP 7 or HW Config: Here, you choose
the desired configuration with which the cyclically transmitted user data will be structured.
● Settings with SIMATIC PDM: Here you set the parameters that also influence the cyclic
user data.
