Data management
The controllere consists of different units:
•
The
central processing unit
(CPU) ensures the data transfer between the
sub-systems. It manages the remanent flash memory and the volatile RAM
memory.
•
The
flash memory
is now 1 mbyte large and stores non-volatilely...
•
the
system
configuration including the AS-i configurations,
•
the runtime system (RTS),
•
the PLC program (must explicitly be stored there!),
•
the remanent data.
•
The operating system and the PLC programs run in the
SRAM memory
, now
also 1 mbyte large, after power-on of the unit.
•
The
AS-i masters
each feature a separate microcontroller and communicate
according to the AS-i specification with the connected slave modules on the
AS-i bus.
•
By using a
text/graphics display
in the controllere detailed system diagnosis
is possible. The handling of the unit with the four keys is easy to learn.

The bilingual design of the menus and messages simplifies worldwide use of
this device family.

An intelligent message management generates priority-based diagnostic and
error messages and considerably supports the user during set-up and fault-
finding.

The
PLC
is a real-time software core in the central unit. The core cyclically
polls the user program. This user program is created and tested by means of
the software CoDeSys
