The adjustment screen is a graphic tool intended for the
adjustment of a module selected in a rack. It displays the current and initial parameters associated with the channels of this module, and allows these to be modified in offline and online modes.
The initial parameters are:
-
Parameters entered (or defined by default) in the configuration screen in offline mode. These parameters have been confirmed in the configuration, and transferred to the PLC.
-
Parameters taken into account during the last reconfiguration in online mode. These parameters cannot be modified from this screen. On the other hand, they can be updated using the current parameters.
Current parameters are those which have been modified and confirmed from the adjustment screen in online mode (or by program via an explicit exchange). These parameters are replaced by the initial parameters after a cold restart.
NOTE: It is mandatory to save adjustment parameters after they have been determined.
The diagram below shows an adjustment screen.
