Configuration
The MA 258
i
can be configured using the EDS file via the device manager of the control. In
case the PLC does not (yet) offer this service (RSLogix 5000 supports it from version 20.00
and up), a generic module and the manual config assembly must be employed.
The connected device is normally configured via the service interface of the MA with the
help of a suitable configuration program.
The respective configuration programs – e.g. for bar code readers the BCL-Config, for RFID
devices the RF-Config etc. – and the associated documentation is provided on the Leuze
home page
in the respective Download area.
Notice!
In order to display the help texts, a PDF viewer program (not included in the delivery contents)
must also be installed. For important information on configuring and on the configurable
functions, please refer to the description of the respective device.

see chapter "Service interface (internal)" on page 42.
The service interface is activated with the help of the service switch and establishes a direct
connection to the connected device with the "DEV" (Leuze device) or "MA" (gateway)
setting.
