Hey everybody,
I am using a S20 bus coupler with the coreX and currently trying to configure the measuring / output range for my AIAO modules. After digging through the manuals, I found out, that the parameter tables can be written with the PDI Write Tunnel the ctrlX I/O Engineering over CoE. The "Write" Tunnel consists of a array of 250 bytes, which are currently all set to 0x00:
Does anyone know, how to configure the modules properly? Is there any kind of generator for this config string, or how is this done in the real world? I can not image, that I have to count and edit this bytes by hand and hope to send the correct information to the module.
Many thanks in advance!! Cherrio!
In the ctrlX IO engineering you have to use this given byte array for the configuration. You can write it via a acyclic channel, like you mentioned, or use the startup parameters to let the master configure your slaves while switching from Pre-OP to OP. How to set these byte arrays up the datasheets of the corresponding IO module.
In the PLC there is an own library for such IO modules:
I am afraid that I do not know a easier way for the configuration. See here an example from a colleague of mine:
The easiest thing to do would be to use fixed set up IO modules like the coming up ctrlX IOs.
