Festo P.BE-VIDN-03-8A-GB 0003NH
When you have configured the slave characteristics (e.g. by
installing the EDS file), you will require the following steps for
parametrizing, depending on the configuration program:
1. Add slave to project/network (online or offline). If the
slave is added offline, it will be selected from the slave
list and added to the network
2. Assign the slave to a scanner. A network can contain sev-
eral scanners. The slaves must be assigned to a scanner.
3. Determine the I/O parameters of the slave. The following
must be specified:
S
Number of I/O bytes to be transmitted. For valve ter-
minal type VIDN-03-8A: 1 byte for receive data and 1
byte for send data.
S
The communication type. For valve terminal type
VIDN-03-8A: Polled or Change of State; strobed data
cannot be used.
S
Assign the I/O addresses of the slave to the PLC oper-
ands.
4. Load the configuration into the scanner.
