Software Configuration\ \ \¶

Depending on the use case and on your requirements on the hardware configuration of your variants, perform a standard or a advanced configuration.

Standard Configuration: Use this configuration if the hardware configuration of your variants is close to the hardware configuration of your primary PLC and contains the same I/O bus modules in the same order. The parameterization for the hardware variants can vary. I/O bus modules that are unnecessary for one of your hardware variants can be deactivated easily with the Ignore Module parameter later on. However, the preset module order from the primary configuration must not be changed, as a I/O bus module can only be ignored but not replaced by another type Flexible AC500 Configuration\ \ \.
Advanced Configuration: Use this configuration if the order of the I/O bus modules must be changed, or if the variants require different I/O bus modules, or if your variants require different addresses for already preset channels. Note: Advanced Configuration requires additional manual actions: a) modifications in IEC 61131-3 editor for I/O Mapping b) file transfer to the file system Flexible AC500 Configuration\ \ \.
