This page describes the device driver to read and write up to 16 registers of an FP0 Module.
Device window pages
The following table shows which device window pages are available with this individual device type. Tool-bar functions not mentioned here are described at the general description of device windows .
--- Inputs and outputs
--- The faults page.
--- The device info page.
--- The maintenance page. The configuration parameters described below are set at this page.Configuration parameters
At the maintenance page of the device window there are a couple of configuration parameters which must be set to make the software talk to the alarm monitoring input at the PLC.
| parameter | description |
|---|---|
| address | The packet address of the PLC device. Usually this is "01". |
| module | Select the module |
| Serial | Remember to set the line parameters for the serial interface connected to the FPx PLC device. It requires the somewhat unusual setting 9600,O,8,1 . |
