Conventions used in this guide
The configuration of the host drive and option module is done using menus and
parameters. A menu is a logical collection of parameters that have similar functionality.
In the case of an options module, the parameters will appear in menu 15, 16 or 17
depending on which slot the module is installed to. The menu is determined by the
number before the decimal point.
The method used to determine the menu or parameter is as follows:
•
Pr
S.mm.ppp
- Where S signifies the option module slot number and mm.ppp
signifies the menu and parameter number of the option module's internal menus
and parameters.
•
Pr
MM.ppp
- Where MM signifies the menu allocated to the option module set-up
menu and ppp signifies the parameter number.
•
Pr
mm.000
- Signifies parameter number 000 in any drive menu.

SI-PROFINET RT conventions
When referring to the cyclic data, the terms input and output are with respect to the
PROFINET IO controller (PLC).
2.7
PROFINET network controller or PLC?
The terms 'network controller' and 'PLC' are mutually used in this manual to refer to the
PROFINET network controller. This is generally a PLC with a PROFINET interface and
possibly a programming interface to connect to the programming device or PC.
However this interface is not necessary, as the PROFINET interface can be used to
program the PLC.
