Channels configuration
These settings configure which channels of the device are active.
Activating a channel causes the creation of the described main communication objects, which are the basic
controls to drive the outputs through bus telegrams.
For output 2, other two options are possible:
The channel configuration can be copied from channel 1. In this case, the channel takes the same
configuration as the source channel, though it has its own copy of the communication objects which
therefore can take their own values; this allows to spare time in configuring the device, at the same
time assuring that there is no inconsistency between two channels that are meant to be configured in
exactly the same way. It must be noted that to copy the configuration from another channel is just a
shortcut for the selection of configuration options; the two channels do not share any of the involved
communication objects. If the configuration of the original channel is varied, then so is the “derived”
channel; in the same fashion, if the original channel is disabled, so is also the derived one.
The channel can be put in parallel with channel 1. In this case, both the configuration and the values
of parameters are the same; there is only one set of communication objects, internally associated to
both channels.
Note: the parameters are prearranged for future versions of the unit with more than two channels. In that
versions, the configuration of a channel can to be copied from any of the preceding channels, but a given
channel can be put in parallel only with the one which is respectively coupled. The present disposition of the
parameters reflects this arrangement.
