NOTE
Device parameters that are not parameterized via the associated GSD module are set
to factory settings during the transition to cyclic data exchange. This does not apply to
the
Offset
parameter.

Module types and module naming
Module types
The device offers the following module types:
Table 26: Module types
Module type
Description
Input modules
Input modules transmit cyclical process data from the slave to
the PROFIBUS master. Input modules can contain configuration
data as an option.
Input and output modules
Input and output modules transmit cyclical process data both
from the slave to the PROFIBUS master as well as from the
PROFIBUS master to the slave. These modules can contain con‐
figuration data as an option.
Setup modules
Setup modules contain only configuration data. Setup modules
cannot transmit any cyclical process data to the PROFIBUS mas‐
ter or receive process data from the PROFIBUS master.

Component
Description
<Designation>
The module names are read from left to right, and specify the
values without any gaps which are transported by the module. A
value further to the left is transmitted before a value further to
the right in this case. Input and output values count independ‐
ently of each other.
<Signature>
The signature specifies whether the value is an input or an
output value, and how many words or bytes the value contains.
The signature has the following structure: <direction><num‐
ber><unit><direction>
•
i: For an input value for the master
•
o: For an output value from the master to the device
<Unit>
•
b: Bytes
•
w: Word
Example 5-Distance/i2w, Preset Dyn/o2w
Module 5 consists of two values:
•
Distance / i2w Input value to the master consisting of 2 words with the
Distance
designation
•
Preset Dyn/o2w: Output value from the master to the device consisting of 2 words
with the
Preset Dyn
designation
Example 13-Temp/i1b, Level/i2b, Hrs/i2b
Module 13 consists of three values:
