Page 87: Module Configuration/Network Installation
Module Configuration/Network Installation Configuration of the LBIM consists of defining NV types and mapping them into the PLC reference space using the LBIM configuration software. When the module’s network interface has been configured, network configuration and binding can be performed as for any other node. - Page 88 Using the LBIM configuration utility, assign NV types to the module and the registers in the PLC memory space to which the variable types will map. Note We recommend that you limit configuration names to a maximum of 7 characters to ensure compatibility with Logicmaster 90 software. (The LBIM configuration software allows up to 10 characters.) Example: SNVT_temp and SNVT_count variable types are one-word values that map directly into a single register address (Figure Q-3).
- Page 89 Using a L network installation tool, install the module in the network and bind the ORKS variables. This step binds the individual variables from the network into the type slots defined previously. When these variables are updated, the new values are passed into the proper PLC register locations.
