4.10 Configuring drive-related I/Os (with symbolic assignment)
Procedure
The configuration of the I/Os is divided into two basic steps:
1. Configuring I/O terminals (Page 127)
2. Configuring technology objects and I/O variables (Page 129)
The required message frames and the interconnection are then set automatically by the
engineering system.

The functionality of an I/O channel is configured (e.g. configuration of a DI/DO as digital
output)
The access of technology objects and I/O variables to I/Os is configured.
The configuration is performed symbolically, whereby only "function-compatible" I/O
channels are offered for selection.
Example:
For the TO measuringInput, only symbolic assignments of the type MI (measuring input)
are offered for selection.
