Editing Third-Party IO-Device Parameters
To configure the parameters of a third-party IO-Device, either double-click on the module in the
Navigator
, or
right-click on the module and select
Configure
from the menu. Upon opening the IO-Devices configuration, you
will see an
IO-Device Access Point
tab, a
GSDML Details
tab, and, possibly, additional parameter tabs (if defined
by the device manufacturer in the associated GSDML file).
3.8.1.1
IO-Device Parameters (IO-Device Access Point Tab)
Use the
IO-Device Access Point
tab
to set up the device’s interface to the RX3i controller:
Figure 74: Third-Party I/O: Use of IO-Device Access Point Tab
Inputs Default:
Choose whether the RX3i CPU will set inputs from the remote node to Off, or Hold Last State
in the following cases:
•
The PROFINET Controller is not operational or is removed.
•
The PROFINET Controller cannot communicate with the device due to cable or network configuration
issues.
•
The device is not able to scan the sub-module in its remote node.
I/O Scan Set:
The scan set for an IO-Device defaults to scan set 1. Scan sets are defined in the associated PLC
CPU’s
Scan Sets
tab. The valid range is 1 through 32; the default value is 1.
3.8.1.2
IO-Device Parameters (Media Redundancy Tab)
If the IO-Device supports Media Redundancy (see Chapter 6,
, for more information), a
Media
Redundancy
tab will be present. Open the
Media Redundancy
tab and select either
Client
or
Manager
:
Figure 75: Third-Party I/O: Use of Media Redundancy Tab
If the IO-Device will be a Media Redundancy Client, click on
Ring Port 1
and
Ring Port 2
to choose the module
ports that will be used.
