Editing Third-Party IO-Device Parameters

To configure the parameters of a third-party IO-Device, either double-click on the module in the Navigator, or
right-click on the module and select Configure from the menu. Upon opening the IO-Devices configuration, you
will see an IO-Device Access Point tab, a GSDML Details tab, and, possibly, additional parameter tabs (if defined
by the device manufacturer in the associated GSDML file).
3.8.1.1 IO-Device Parameters (IO-Device Access Point Tab)
Use the IO-Device Access Point tab to set up the device's interface to the RX3i controller:
Figure 74: Third-Party I/O: Use of IO-Device Access Point Tab
Inputs Default: Choose whether the RX3i CPU will set inputs from the remote node to Off, or Hold Last State
in the following cases:
•
The PROFINET Controller is not operational or is removed.
•
The PROFINET Controller cannot communicate with the device due to cable or network configuration
issues.
•
The device is not able to scan the sub-module in its remote node.
I/O Scan Set: The scan set for an IO-Device defaults to scan set 1. Scan sets are defined in the associated PLC
CPU's Scan Sets tab. The valid range is 1 through 32; the default value is 1.
3.8.1.2 IO-Device Parameters (Media Redundancy Tab)
If the IO-Device supports Media Redundancy (see Chapter 6, Redundant Media, for more information), a Media
Redundancy tab will be present. Open the Media Redundancy tab and select either Client or Manager:
If the IO-Device will be a Media Redundancy Client, click on Ring Port 1 and Ring Port 2 to choose the module
ports that will be used.
