The behaviour of the CTEL system is fundamentally influ-
enced by the set operating mode. Decisive for the selection of
the operating mode are especially
–
type of installation (permanent or flexible)
–
available address space (large or strongly limited)
Manual configuration of the I/Os offers the possibility to
replace the connected I-port devices during operation. I/O
configuration and I/O length are determined together for all
I-ports. Each I-port device that corresponds to this configur-
ation can be connected during operation.
For permanently established I/O lengths, observe that the con-
nected modules must not exceed the set I/O lengths. Otherwise,
an I-port configuration error is output (see section 4.7.2).
For manual configuration, it must be determined through the
DIL switches S1.1 and S1.2 whether the CTEL master module
at all 4 I-ports makes available only inputs (pure input mod-
ule), only outputs (pure output module), or inputs and outputs
(mixed operation). See Tab. 1/5 in section 1.5.1.
The I/O length is determined together for all I-ports through
the DIL switches 2. An I/O length of 4 bytes per I-port cor-
responds to a setting of 16 bytes, for example. See Tab. 1/6
in section 1.5.1.
