4.3 Configuring the internal device
General
The internal device is pre-installed at the system startup. However, the input and
output size of the device can be changed. The size of the internal device determines
how many signals that can be attached, see
Input and output size on page 30 .
This section describes the recommended working procedure of configuring a
internal device. The working procedure helps to understand the dependencies
between the different steps.
Note
It is only possible to have one internal device.
