Chapter 3 PLC System Configuration & Settings Before the parameters are imported, the system will check the file format and the module model. If the file format or the module model is not correct, the system will stop the import of the parameters. If the data registers specified in the original file exported have been used in the present configuration, different data registers will be specified in the file after the file is imported. 3.7.4 Updating Parameters for Modules For the parameters update in a module, the system needs to be in the online mode. For the operation of the online mode, please refer to section 3.8 for details.
After the system is in the on-line mode, users can select the module that needs to update the parameters and then the device setting window will show up. From the device setting window, the Update option will appear. Click Update button to update the parameters in a module. This function is only available for digital I/O modules, analog I/O modules and network modules. 3.7.5 Parameter Settings for Intelligent Modules Delta Electronics, Inc. provides the exclusive configuration tools for some modules. Through the software, the modules can be further configured and the parameters in the modules can be further set, such as CANopen network planning and etc.
Take the AH5x0 as an example (shown below), if users want to set the parameters in an intelligent module, they can right-click the module in the system configuration area, and click Intelligent Module Configuration on the context menu. If the configuration and the setting of the parameters in HWCONFIG have not been saved, the system will ask the users to save the configuration and the setting before starting the corresponding software. Once the corresponding software is started, users can not perform any editing tasks in HWCONFIG before the software is closed.
Some software need be installed additionally and there will be a message to remind users of installing the configuration software if the software is not installed. Please refer to instructions for software and modules for more information about the usage of the software. 3-239
