Flexi Link configuration

This section shows in detail how data can be shared between the single stations in a
Flexi Link system.
Example: Simple Flexi Link project with two stations. An emergency stop button and a
restart button on Station A will control two robots connected to Station A and Station B.
Setting up the hardware
 Create a new Flexi Link project (see Section 7.3.2).
 In the Flexi Link System overview, set the connection method to EFI1+2 (setting
it to EFI1 will make no difference for this example project). Then click on the Add
a new station button for Station A. The Hardware configuration view for Station
A opens.
 Add a CPU1 or CPU3 and then an WS0-XTIO module for Station A.
 Connect a single channel emergency stop button to input I1 and a single channel
reset button to input I2 of the Station A WS0-XTIO module.
 Connect a single channel robot to output Q1 and a lamp to output Q2 of the Station
A WS0-XTIO module.
 Now click on the button for Station B in the toolbar. The Hardware configuration
view for Station B opens.
 Add a CPU1 or CPU3 and then an WS0-XTIO module for Station B.
 Connect a single channel robot to output Q1 and a lamp to output Q2 of the Station
B WS0-XTIO module.
Configuring the logic for Station A
 Click on the button for Station A in the toolbar. Then switch to the Logic editor view
for Station A.
