Configuration and Modes

Meaning of Configuration with the Keypad and Display
This type of configuration allows you to commission the AS-Interface on the
IE/AS-i LINK quickly and with little effort.
If you want to configure the AS-Interface using STEP 7 or the GSDML file (see
Chapter 6), you can skip this chapter.
Modes
The IE/AS-i LINK has two modes:
S Configuration mode
S Protected mode
Configuration Mode
The configuration mode is used during AS-i installation and startup.
You can change the link module from protected mode (productive operation) to
configuration mode in the following ways:
S Keypad and display:
Description in Section 4.3
S Web Based Management:
"AS-i Line" > "Configuration" > "Status" tab > Clear the "Protected mode"
check box
S Data record interface:
Data record 17 Set_Operation_Mode
In the configuration mode, the IE/AS-i LINK can exchange data with every AS-i
slave connected to the AS-i cable (except for the AS-i slave with address '0'). Any
AS-i slaves that are added later are detected immediately by the master, activated
and included in the cyclic data exchange.
On completion of commissioning (after the "Download to module" step), the IE/AS-i
LINK is in "protected mode" and AS-i slaves that are active at this point are
configured. The AS-i slave information shown below is stored in non-volatile
memory on the IE/AS-i LINK:
S The addresses
S The ID codes
