When you declare a BMX EIA 0100 module on the PLC rack, the AS-Interface bus is represented in the Configuration directory of the project browser. The number of the AS-Interface bus is calculated automatically by Control Expert. This value may be modified.
After having declared all the slaves on the AS-Interface bus and validated the configuration, the AS-Interface slaves also appear on the AS-Interface bus of the project browser. Each slave appears with its address number. Displaying the AS-Interface bus and slaves enables you to see at a glance their topological addressing.
The following illustration shows the AS-Interface bus and slaves in the project browser:
