Hi gents,
i'm working on a project where we are using some balluf I/O Modules for some inputs and outputs. I was wondering how the I/O addressing works in case we have 2 slave modules connected in series with the master, follows a graphic rapresentation:
Master Module -------- Slave 1 ------ Slave 2
Master module: BNI PNT-508-105-Z015
Slave 1/2: BNI IOL-302-000-Z012
I am working with TIA v14 SP1 and i know that in the case of using only 1 master with 1 slave (Master Module ------- Slave) we assign 2 bytes of input and 2 bytes and just use those in your software as you want.
It's the first time i am encoutering 2 slaves connected in series and i was wondering if i have to use the browser configurator of the Master Module to tell him that i have 2 slaves connected in series, in that case how would the addressing work ? like 4 bytes for input and 4 bytes for outputs ? (i don't have those modules here so i can't verify it by my self).
Just for information, the cable between Slave 1 and Slave 2 is:
Port 7 Slave 1 ---------- Main connector Slave 2 (The one on the top)
Thanks in advance
