Configuring IO modules

Requirement
● The central processing unit (CPU) is configured
See chapter Configuring the central processing unit (CPU) (Page 108).
● The interface modules of the distributed I/O are equipped with IO modules.
See chapter Equipping interface modules with I/O modules (Page 110).
● The "Locations" tab is displayed in the Navigator.
Procedure
1. In the Navigator, select the module below the interface module.
2. Open the properties of the module.
3. In the "Name" field, enter the value in accordance with the slot number in the interface
module. A value of "1" or higher is entered for most configurations.
Example:
– The input module receives the name "1".
– The output module receives the name "2".
This has the result that the names of the signal modules correspond to the respective slot
number in the interface module. See also Information on identifying hardware components
(Page 90).

Creating the bus modules

Bus modules
The Bus modules will be created automatically when I/O modules are configured using the "HW
configuration tool" plugin.
When you configure the I/O modules manually, you have to create the bus modules via the
short cut menu "Create bus modules" under the module after configuring the Rack and power
supply.
