6.2
General Information
This chapter describes how the Saia PG5
®
Device Configurator is used. The
Device Configurator defines:
- cyclical media mapping in order to enable a link between peripheral I/O module
values and the device resources (e.g. PCD flags and registers).
- direct access to programming instructions, for reading values from
and transmitting values to the peripheral input module.
For the PCD1.M0_, I/O handling is always enabled via direct access. There is no
“bit” access instruction: the minimum access range is “byte”. You are therefore ad-
vised to use media mapping to read and write all I/O channels. For further details,
see the online help of the Device Configurator
