7.3.2 Validity of the interface data
18413
In order to facilitate the access to inputs and outputs of AS-i slaves, AS-i Gateway AC14 projects offer
clearly defined interfaces in the device tree (
→ Overview: Project structure with AS-i Gateway AC14
(
→ p.
18 )).
Depending on the active instance for accessing the outputs of the AS-i slaves (Manual, Gateway,
PLC), the CODESYS data mapper only updates certain address areas of the interfaces. The following
table shows which address areas of the i/o interfaces provide valid data values while in a certain
operating mode:
Output control I/O interfaces Updated address areas / channels

► When linking variables with inputs and outputs, only use interfaces in the project tree, that
are updated by the CODESYS data mapper!
