Configuring the parameters of the modules
To configure the operational parameters for the modules, select the module in the Device
view and use the "Properties" tab of the inspector window to configure the parameters for the
module.
Configuring a signal module (SM) or a signal board (SB)
●
Digital I/O: Inputs can be configured for rising-edge detection or falling-edge detection
(associating each with an event and hardware interrupt) and also for "pulse catch" (to
stay on after a momentary pulse) through the next update of the input process image.
Outputs can use a freeze or substitute value.
●
Analog I/O: For individual inputs, configure parameters, such as measurement type
(voltage or current), range and smoothing, and to enable underflow or overflow
diagnostics. Analog outputs provide parameters such as output type (voltage or current)
and for diagnostics, such as short-circuit (for voltage outputs) or upper/lower limit
diagnostics. You do not configure ranges of analog inputs and outputs in engineering
units on the Properties dialog. You must handle this in your program logic as described in
the topic "Processing of analog values (Page 85)".
●
I/O diagnostic addresses: Configures the start address for the set of inputs and outputs of
the module
