Module window

In the module window (Abb. 4.13) , all module-relevant data can be viewed and managed. From here, users can send individual commands to the respective module. The ,,State'' tab shows the current module status. The information is updated when a ,,GET STATE'' is received.

If state request is disabled, or if this command is not selected in the preferences the information on the tab is not updated. However, when communicating via Profibus, the eight indicators on the left side are updating with each incoming message from the module.

The window title is shown as ,,Module: <module type> [<user rights>] ID <modul-ID> <state (active/inactive)>''. If there was no reply to a sent command, the state is changed from ,,active'' to ,,inactive''.

Using the buttons in the right section of the window, the main commands can be sent directly to the module. After the Movement button has been clicked, a separate section of the window for the required parameterization of the movement commands (Abb. 4.14) is shown.
