Communication
By default, the bandwidth is 4x256 bytes, supported by the OS versions prior to V2.80 for the CPU and V4.60 for the NOE.
The maximum data volume exchanged each cycle between the NOE and CPU modules.
For Quantum processors:
  • 140 CPU 311 10
  • 140 CPU 534 14
  • 140 CPU 434 12

Opens the State RAM Viewer tab, which displays the allocation of used memory. (See the illustration following.)
Configuration Online Modification
Online modification in RUN or STOP
x
This check box allows you to:
  • Add or delete discrete or analog modules,
  • Modify Parameters
NOTE: These modifications can be done in RUN. 
(1)
The value is expressed as a percentage and displayed on the scale. 
(2)
Enter the appropriate values.
For Quantum 140 CPU 3••, 140 CPU 4•• and 140 CPU 5•• the %MWi value is as follows:
Power ON:
without cold start
Power ON:
with cold start
Initialize %MWi box
Unselected
%MWi keep their value
%MWi keep their value
Selected
%MWi take their initial value
NOTE: %MWi resets with cold start %S0 or a programload. Cold start is typically after a program load, %S0 can be set with the user program to initiate a cold start.
Button to show the allocation of the used memory
NOTE: The state ram viewer can be directly accessible via the menu:
  • PLC → State Ram Viewer
The content of the grid may be changed by setting the following two filters:
  1. Memory user
    • Modules
    • Language
    • Variables
  2. Memory area
    • %M
    • %I
    • %IW
