(Original Document)
About us
At a Glance
The configuration screen is a graphic tool designed for configuring a module selected in a rack. It displays the parameters defined for this modules channels, and allows you to modify them in offline mode and online mode.
It also provides access to modification and debug screens (the latter in online mode only).
NOTE: It is not possible to configure a module by programming using direct language objects %KW, these words are accessible in read only format.
Illustration
This screen enables the display and modification of parameters in offline mode, as well as debug in online mode.
Description
The next table shows the various elements of the configuration screen and their functions.

1
Tabs
The register tab in the foreground indicates the current mode (Configuration for this example). Every mode can be selected using the respective tab.
The Debug mode is only accessible in online mode.
The Settings mode is only available for the TSX DMY 28RFK module.
2
Module zone
Specifies the abbreviated heading of the module.
In online mode, this zone includes also the three LEDs Run, Err, IO.

Channel field
Is used:
  • By clicking on the reference number, to display the tabs:
    • Description which gives the characteristics of the device.
    • I/O Objects which is used to presymbolize the input/output objects.
    • Fault which shows the device faults (in online mode).
  • To select the channel,
  • To display the Symbol, name of the channel defined by the user (using the variable editor).
4
General parameters field
Allows you to select the associated function and task in groups of 8 channels:
  • Function: Defines the configuration/deconfiguration of the channel group selected (other than groups 0 to 7),
  • Task: Defines the task (MAST, FAST or AUX0/3 in which channel default exchange objects will be exchanged.
The check box Supply monitoring defines the active or inactive state of the external power supply fault monitoring (available only on some Discrete modules).
The Reactivate and Fallback mode drop-down menus enable you to configure the output reset and output fallback mode (available only on some Discrete modules).
5
Configuration zone
Enables the configuration of parameters for the various channels. This field includes various items, displayed according to the selected Discrete module.
The Symbol column displays the symbol associated with the channel when it has been defined by the user (using the variable editor).
