10.2 Configuration control (option handling)
Introduction
Configuration control (option handling) is used to operate various standard machine
configuration levels in one project without changing the configuration and the user program.
Operating principle of configuration control
You can use configuration control to operate different standard machine configurations with
a single configuration of the ET 200SP or ET 200MP distributed I/O system.
● A station master (maximum configuration) is configured in a project. The station master
comprises all modules needed for all possible sections of a modular machine.
● Provision is made in the user program of the project for various station options for the
different configuration levels of the standard machine and for selection of a station option.
A station option uses, for example, only some of the configured modules of the station
master and these modules are inserted in the slots in a different order.
● During commissioning, manufacturers of standard machines select a station option for a
configuration level of the standard machine. A change to the project is not required and a
modified configuration therefore does not need to be loaded.
● You program a control data record. The control data record notifies the CPU/interface
module as to:
– which modules are missing in a station option as compared to the station master
– which modules are in a different slot
● The configuration control has no effect on the parameter assignment of the modules.
