Reconfiguration of Existing Modules in ET 200M Stations

Requirements for Reconfiguration

Note

You can either use channels not previously used or reconfigure previously used

channels.

The addresses of available modules are not to be changed via CiR.

Configuration Requirements

In order to reconfigure the system, a CiR object must exist in the respective

DP master system.

Hardware Requirements

Please refer to the About text in the "Hardware Catalog" window for information on

which ET 200M modules (signal modules and function modules) you can

reconfigure in CPU RUN mode.

The maximum number of modules you can reconfigure is 100.

Module Response During a Reconfiguration

During reconfiguration the input modules can respond in one of the three following

ways:

•

Channels not affected will continue to return the actual process value.

•

Channels not affected will return the process value which was valid prior to the

reconfiguration.

•

All channels will return the value "0" (applies to digital modules and FMs) or

W#16#7FFF (applies to analog modules).

Please refer to the technical data of the specific modules for information on their

response.

Output modules respond as follows during reconfiguration:

The respective channels output the initial value which was valid before the

parameter assignment.
