Requirements
You will have to read in the device parameters to the Engineering System before you assign
the parameters of the FF devices for the first time.
Note
Observe the following if you have inserted new FF devices on the FF segment or if you want
to use the parameters of additional function blocks:
● First, configure all interconnections.
● If the FF segment is fully downloaded (option at FF Link: "always load FF Link and FF
devices"), the download is briefly stopped.
● If the FF segment is incrementally downloaded (option at FF Link: "Only load FF Link and
FF devices when modified"), the download continues.
● If required, correct the macro cycle settings.
