6.4.2 Parameterization via Explicite Messaging
Explicite messaging treats each communication between devices as a separate
request and response. Explicit messages can be sent by a client at any time and the
server can respond as soon as it is available. Therefore, Explicit Messaging is used
only for non-time-critical information, such as configuration data.
To parameterize the device using Explicit Messaging, first create a new PLC program
(here: Ladder-Logic).
Figure 6.26: Example new program
Now add a device with the process data you require as described in chapter 6.4.
Then navigate back to your previously created program. Select "Parameters and Local
tags" there.
Figure 6.27: Parameters and tags
Now create the following tags to perform an example configuration:
- Send_MSG_TMR (Message)
- Send_MSG_TMR (Message)
- Send_MSG_Preset (Message)
- Send_MSG_Scaling (Message)
- TMR_value (DINT)
