10. Active Slave (Module "Active Slave")
With this module, you generate a single active slave on ibaBM-DP, the master of the
PROFIBUS line can directly send data to. Enter the address of the slave (as para-
metrized in the configuration of the PLC) on the "General" tab under "Slave number".
Under "Bus number", you can enter the PROFIBUS line (0: connector X40, 1: X41)
on which the active slave is being operated.
If you want to operate several active slaves, then add more modules of the "Active
slave" type.
For a detailed description of the "Active slave" module, please see chapter 10.3.3.
11.
Then, enter the "Number of analog signals“ and the "Number of digital signals" in
the "Active slave“ module on the "General" tab. The default setting is 64, a maxi-
mum of 512 analog and 512 digital signals can be assigned per module, a total over
all modules of 1024 analog and 1024 digital signals. This value determines the
length of the signal tables on the "Analog" and "Digital" tab.
12.
Enter the signals you want to record on the "Analog" tab in the sequential order you
want. Assign a name to each signal ("Name" column). In the "I/O", "Address" and
"Data type" column, define the information where the signal can be found in the in-
terface of the slave.
