4.6 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
 Analog I/O: For individual inputs, configure
 I/O diagnostic addresses: Configures the start address for the set of inputs and outputs
Configuring a communication module (CM)
 Port configuration: Configures the communication
 Transmit message configuration: Enables and
 Receive message configuration: Enables and
These configuration parameters can be changed by your program.
