Flexi Line
Byte configuration
On the left of the view you will find an overview of the bytes in the Flexi Line process
image. If you select a byte, you can edit the following settings for this byte on the
right:
name of the byte
routing: The data for a byte can be either shared globally in the entire system or
only locally with one or two neighboring stations.
default value High or Low
tag names of the individual bits
activation or deactivation of the individual bits
Routing
A byte can be either local, i.e. only valid for one or both immediately neighboring
stations, or global in the entire Flexi Line system.
A byte that is valid globally is communicated to the entire Flexi Line system. All
stations can read and change each bit of this byte. If a station changes a bit, this
change will be effective on all other stations.
A byte that is valid locally is shared with either one or both immediately neighboring
stations. A station that receives a local byte from a neighboring station evaluates the
information from this byte and in turn prepares its own local byte that it sends to one
or both its neighboring stations. The data received and the data sent are
independent of each other during this process.
