Introduction to configuring

Introduction
By configuring, parameterizing and connecting the individual hardware components of the
ET 200eco PN M12‑L distributed I/O devices, you determine their configuration (preset
configuration) and their mode of operation. You perform the work needed for this in MFCT.
The full range of functions is not ensured with other software.
"Configuring" refers to the arranging, setting up and networking of devices and modules in
the MFCT or in another software.
"Assigning parameters" refers to the setting of the properties of the I/O devices used.
MFCT or another software compiles the hardware configuration (the result of "Configuring"
and "Assigning parameters"). Then the configuration is loaded into I/O devices of the plant
and the configuration files prepared for the controller.
NOTE
Temporary bus interruption
The ET 200eco PN M12‑L I/O device starts again once the configuration is loaded. The reboot
interrupts the MultiFieldbus for all downstream devices. The bus interruption is evaluated by
the software used and the controller.
Detailed information
You can find more information in the "MultiFieldbus
(https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109773209)" function manual.
