Using SOPAS, the position of a guest can be easily changed via drag & drop (see Figure
4). Note that the sequence number in the process data word also changes depending
on the positioning.
To ensure the correct guest has been selected, detailed information about the selected
guest is shown on the right hand side. There is also a “Find Me” function for easily
locating a guest. After selecting a specific guest and pressing the Find Me button, the
LEDs on the selected guest light up.
NOTE
1
Find Me can also be activated during process data operation (PD = valid). Note,
however, that this will have a periodic effect (500 ms) on the cycle time.
2
The Find Me function is automatically deactivated by the device for certain com‐
mands/configurations (Factory reset, Teach-in, Confirm chain change, Automated
assignment, Automated position assignment, Change position, or Teach-in posi‐
tion).
