Flexi Link
How to change the assigned Flexi Link address (A to D):
To change the address of a station, click on the up and down arrow buttons to
move it up or down to the desired position in the window. Alternatively, you can
drag and drop the station to the desired position.
Click on the
Apply settings
button in the upper left hand corner of the screen. The
Flexi Link addresses of the stations will be changed.
The
Apply settings
button has no effect on the Flexi Link IDs in the stations. The
Flexi Link IDs are transferred to the stations as a part of the configuration. That
means that if you have made changes to the configuration of any station that have
resulted in a change of the Flexi Link IDs, then you have to transfer the
configuration again to all stations in order to apply the new Flexi Link IDs.
It does not matter which Flexi Link address is assigned to which station. One
recommended possibility is to follow the mounting order in the switching cabinet
from left to right for better orientation.
If you change the address assignment of a Flexi Link system, you may have to
reconfigure the process image and the parts of the logic programming that use
input bits from the Flexi Link process image because the Flexi Link address is part
of the bit assignment in the process image.

Flexi Link stations: Flexi Link data in the logic editor
The logic editor is the central place where the available information in the Flexi Link
network is processed. Flexi Link stations are handled like EFI sensors:
Each station can use the information of the other stations as input data
Each station can provide its own data as outputs
Ensure that all signals are present long enough!
Very short signals may not be recognized and transferred to other Flexi Link stations,
especially if the logic cycle time of the source is much shorter than the Flexi Link
system’s logic execution time. Take appropriate measures to ensure that all signals
are present long enough to be recognized in the Flexi Link system (e.g. by using a
delay function block in the logic).
