3.5 Configure the SMD23E2 or SMD24E2 Driver

If you are continuing from step 3.4, the resulting New Module screen is used to configure the network con-
nection between the SMD23E2 or SMD24E2 and your controller. If you need to open the screen to perform
this task at a later time, right click on the unit in the project tree and then select "Properties" from the drop-
down menu
Tabs that are not listed in the steps below are filled with reasonable defaults by the EDS file.

3.5.1 General Tab

The Name, Description, and IP address of the device must be specified here. The [Change...] button allows you
to change the Module Definition if needed.

3.5.2 Connection Tab

The default RPI time is eight milliseconds. This value can be changed in this tab.

3.5.3 Configuration Tab

The Configuration tab is used to define the configuration data that is written down to the SMD23E2 or
SMD24E2 when the device connects to the network. You can also click on the [Apply] button to write down
the configuration data to the unit at any time.
The EDS file defines tags that are used to configure the SMD23E2 or SMD24E2. These tags follow the for-
mat of the Configuration Data given in reference chapter 6,
page 59.
Bits 8 and 9 of Configuration Word 1, Binary_Output_Format and Binary_Input_Format,
should both be set to "1" when using and EDS setup so that command and response data is
sent as 32-bit binary values.
