Function modules - Definition and commissioning

Description
A function module is a functional expansion of a drive object that can be activated during
commissioning.
Examples of function modules:
● Technology controller
● Setpoint channel for SERVO drive object
● Parallel connection of Motor Modules or Line Modules
● Extended brake control
● Linear motor
A function module generally has separate parameters and, in some cases, separate faults
and warnings too. These parameters and messages are only displayed when the function
module is active. An active function module also generally requires additional processing
time, which must be taken into account during configuration.
Commissioning with STARTER
In the commissioning screen forms of STARTER, you can either directly or indirectly activate
the function modules (e.g. technology controller direct, linear motor indirect by selecting a
linear motor).
Commissioning via parameter (only with BOP20)
The function modules can be activated/de-activated using parameter p0108 of the Control
Unit (CU). The indices of parameters r0107, p0108 and p0124 represent the different drive
object types; these are displayed in r0107 (CU) after the device has been configured. The
READY LED of the main component of the drive object (e.g. Motor Module, TM31) can be
made to flash using parameter p0124 (CU).

● p0108 Drive objects, function module
● p0124 Identifying the main components using LEDs
