bit is defined as 16 bit further input, it corresponds to 100% (32 bit = 4294967295 dec.)
65535 decimal is given.
Byte Offset of the Fieldbus Inputs (8)
The byte offset defines the position at which the parameter is located in the fieldbus.
A standard application of aflex, which uses both flipping and feeding, requires the fol-
lowing fieldbus inputs:
- Direction = Direction of movement
- Intensity = intensity of the aflex
- Load Config Number = Switch between different configurations (e.g., flip /
move). The slot number of the stored configurations is used for the call.
- Aux Power Output = Turn on the background lighting. Intensity can be adjusted
as a percentage from 0-100%.
- General Release = general release. Without these, no power outputs are
switched
Optionally the following commands can be used:
- Controller Restart: Initiate a restart in case of a falling flank.
- AutoMode: Switch between automatic and manual modes. The control unit
switches to the automatic mode after aborting the TCP/IP connection to the
"aflex Configurator". The control unit also changes to the automatic mode every
time you restart. For this reason, this field is useful as a fieldbus output in order
to query the operating mode. However, this does not necessarily have to be
controlled as an input.
It is possible to send the current values to the higher-level controller via the outputs,
thus implementing a target/actual comparison.
