Note
Flexi Line
In the example in Figure 87 bit 0 from byte 2 with the tag name Reset has been
selected. This bit is low in the process images that are received from the
neighboring stations, but high at the local input (marked in green). For this reason
this bit is also high in all process images sent by this station.

Getting started

8.3.1 Configuration and commissioning of a Flexi Line system
This section describes how you can setup a new Flexi Line system and place it in
operation.
A Flexi Line system is configured in 2 steps:
 In the first step the first station is configured and the process image defined.
 The second step comprises the configuration of the other stations. During this
step the process image must be transferred to these stations.
Each station in a Flexi Line system must be configured in Setting and Monitoring
Tool as an individual station and placed in operation.
Configuration of the first station in the Setting and Monitoring Tool
 Open the Setting and Monitoring Tool software on your PC or notebook.
 In the startup dialog, click on Create new Flexi Link project or choose from the
Project menu the command New, Standalone station project. The Hardware
configuration window is opened.
 First add a new WS0-CPU3.
 Then add the required hardware, as described in section 5.5.1 and in section 5.5.3.
 Once the hardware configuration for the selected station is complete, drag the Flexi
Line element from the list box for the elements to the CPU module. A pop-up
window opens.
 In the pop-up window click New Flexi Line definition. The Flexi Line view opens.
