4. Configuration
4.1. Commonly Configured Attributes
The SLA5800/SLAMf Series PC supports many different configurable
attributes. The out-of-box defaults meet the needs of a great majority of
applications, but some applications may require the device to report more
information or behave differently than is configured with default settings, such
as valve position, safe mode, or Pressure and/or setpoint as real numbers in
engineering units etc.
This section covers the more common attributes that are configured to meet
the unique needs of applications. The terms “attribute” and “parameters” can
be used interchangeably and ultimately refer to the same data item within the
PC device. The term “parameter” is widely used within the EDS paradigm
whereas “attribute” is used within the DeviceNet specification.
The tables will make reference to both the EDS Parameter name (if the
configuration software utilizes the EDS sheet) and the EPATH descriptor
(class-instance-attribute) for those who are writing custom or have other
types of configuration interfaces.
The following table lists attributes/parameters that will be discussed in this
section.
