The function block is used to edit the configuration data of a remote or distributed I/O station for subsequent processing by module configuration EFBs.
To configure an I/O station rack, the
DROP function block in the
configuration section is connected to the corresponding
SLOT output of the
QUANTUM function block. The number of the I/O station defined in the I/O map has to be entered at the
NUMBER input of the
DROP function block. The function blocks for configuration of the analog modules of the I/O stations are connected to the
SLOT outputs.
NOTE: Do not specify Literals at the SLOT inputs of the configuration EFBs. SLOT inputs must be connected to SLOT outputs. Values in SLOT outputs are not supposed to be used directly by the user. They refer to configuration areas in the PLC memory associated to the configured modules. Invalid values will cause a runtime error message in menu Tools → Diagnostic Viewer.
NOTE: In a M580 application with Quantum drops, SLOT input is let unconnected because the QUANTUM function block is not used.
and can be configured as additional parameters.
