2.6.4 Bus node parameters tool change

2-34
The tool change mode (GSD: "Tool Change Mode") offers the
option to integrate or replace I-Port devices flexibly. Merely a
universal data range is created, which a device can occupy.
Which equipment is then actually connected is not defined.
As a result, a flexible replacement of different equipment is
possible. In this case, any I-Port devices are recognised
without an error message as long as their real process data
size does not exceed the configured size.
Through a universal module (see Tab. 2/1), a fixed maximum
I/O data length is assigned to each I-Port connection on the
respective module or slot position (Siemens). This ensures
that the right module configuration, i.e. sufficient data length,
is also queried after every switch-on.
In the parameters of the bus node, the tool change mode can
be activated for each I-Port connection individually.
