Parameters of buffer modules with electrolytic capacitors
With the exception of the standard settings for IO devices, the buffer modules with
electrolytic capacitors have no configurable parameters.
Parameters of buffer modules with double-layer capacitors
● BUF8600 4s/40A (6EP4293-8HB00-0XY0)
● BUF8600 10s/40A (6EP4295-8HB00-0XY0)
For the parameterization of buffer modules with double-layer capacitors, under the
"Properties" tab for the basic device select the "Buffering" subgroup.

Parameterizing the basic unit
The procedure is the same for all parameters. This section describes the general procedure
to reach the configuration dialog. The individual parameters and their possible values are
described in the following subsections.
