RTU32M I/O Setup in WorkSuite
6.1
General
It is highly recommended to take a training course on the RTU32 product series and the WorkSuite package. It will save you a lot of
time and is a good investment because you will get familiar with the software and hardware and be able to quickly take advantage of
all the RTU and WorkSuite powerful features. Contact your local distributor, or Brodersen for RTU/WorkSuite training exercises.
Besides the basic WorkSuite standard PLC programming environment and EN/IEC61131-3 programming languages, there are some
functions and features which are specific for the RTU32M Product Series.

WorkSuite I/O Drivers for RTU32M
The WorkSuite I/O Drivers for the RTU32M are used to access the
physical inputs and outputs. All RTU inputs are read online when
the PLC runtime cycle is started and all outputs are written online
at the end of the runtime cycle.
The RTU32M supports the Brodersen BL Series expansion I/O
modules via its modular backplane bus.
All I/Os (including status flags/words) are stored in an independent
memory mapped database in the RTU32M. The database is a
mirror of the physical I/O. The WorkSuite I/O drivers handle the
access to this database. You can program your logic application
without any connected hardware.
BL Series I/O
You must be sure that you have the correct I/O configuration and modules when you try to run and debug your application program on
the RTU32M
–
or ensure that missing/future modules in your I/O configuration are set to
‘not present’ as shown below.
