The fieldbus modules
As with all controllerE devices with fieldbus interface, the information to be exchanged is subdivided
into logical blocks: the so-called fieldbus modules - in the following called modules. These modules
often have a variable size (data length). The contents, i.e. the data, of the modules depend on the type
of information to be transmitted. The modules can be set, activated / deactivated in the user menu
[Fieldbus Setup].
When activating modules with controllerE output data (data from the controllerE to the fieldbus
interface), these data are consistently copied in their set lengths and in the sequence of the activated
module numbers into the IN range of the DP-RAM.
The activation of modules with controllerE input data (data from the fieldbus interface to the
controllerE) specifies how the data of the DP-RAM OUT range are to be interpreted by the controllerE.
Here, the sequence of the activated module numbers and the set length are decisive again. The
CANopen controllerE devices provide 19 modules. The following table gives a quick overview of the
modules and the setting options.
