Hi

i am looking at a project that may use a

KS Vario Bus System for temperature control

See http://www.pma-online.de/en/products/vario-menue.html

I am looking at conneting an slc to it over devicenet

Now my question is looking at the eds files found here

http://www.pma-online.de/files/eds-gsd/edsksvario.exe

When i use the ks-vario-dn_30ch+config eds file i get a parameters tab for the vario when i double click on it, these go from ID 1 down to ID 5654 ???? I see i can alter the Thermocouple type etc etc but what exactly is this for ?

And the IO Data is 254 Bytes in and 254 Bytes Out

So will an M file transfer get all info i need or do i need to explicit message ?
