Fig. 10.21 Configuration of the interface modules when using intercommunication mode
Once intercommunication functionality has been parameterized, the modules must al­
ways be restarted. The settings are then adopted the next time the modules are restar­
ted.
After starting the modules, the connected interface modules first have to be initialized -

Super-master function
The Super-Master takes over data handling within the setup and makes the flow of meas­
urement data available on the 10+2 bus. In addition to this, it is only the head-end para­
meterized as the Super-Master that has full access to the connected torque transducer.
This means, for example, that only the Super-Master can trigger the shunt signal. All the
incoming data can be scaled and filtered separately and without reaction, for example,
within the setup (super-master/slave operation).
Slave function
It is as if the slave listens in to the flow of communication data between the torque
sensor and the Super-Master. It behaves passively and acts solely as a listener within the
