XBE: Configuring a module rack expansion
Original instructions
About us
Function description
The function block is used to edit the configuration data of a Quantum (main) module rack expansion for subsequent use by the scaling EFBs.
To configure a Quantum (main) module rack expansion, the XBE function block is inserted into the configuration section. It is connected to its INSLOT input at the corresponding SLOTx output of the QUANTUM function block. The function blocks for the configuration of analog modules or the DROP function block for the I/O station are connected at its SLOTx 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 menuTools → Diagnostic Viewer.
EN and ENO can be configured as additional parameters.
