Object: Logical I/Os (device editor)

Function: Configurator for logical I/Os

Call: Double-click on an object in the device tree under Logical I/Os

Tab: Safe configuration

Function: Configuration of the parameters for safe communication.

This Safe configuration dialog is only available for fail-safe I/Os.

Tip

Integer parameters can optionally be displayed in hexadecimal notation. This optional setting must be made in the device description file.

Tip

Changes made in the Safe configuration dialog are highlighted in red. Only the last change is marked here. All change markings are removed when the editor is closed.

Table 70. Parameters

The default values for the parameters originate from the respective device description file (SDD).
Name	Name of the parameter Example: `FSoE address`
Value	Example: 1
Symbolic value	Optional `Active` `Not active`
Description	Optional Example: `Unique FSoE slave address(dip swich setting)`
Unit	Optional

Table 71. Description of bus-specific safe parameters

Name	Description
FSoE address	Unique EtherCAT address of the module. A FSoE connection corresponds to one safe fieldbus device (or its logical I/Os).
WatchdogTime	Watchdog time If the module does not respond within this time, then an error is issued.
Connection ID	Unique connection number in the entire EtherCAT network

Name

Description

FSoE address

Unique EtherCAT address of the module. A FSoE connection corresponds to one safe fieldbus device (or its logical I/Os).

WatchdogTime

Watchdog time

If the module does not respond within this time, then an error is issued.

Connection ID

Unique connection number in the entire EtherCAT network

Tab: I/O mapping

Function: Defines the variables for the safety application to access the I/Os.

Tip

In CODESYS Safety for EtherCAT Safety Module, you can map I/O channels only to new variables. They cannot be mapped to existing variables.

Tip

The editor of the logical I/Os of standard devices has no Safe Configuration dialog. The configuration and the device parameterization are performed under the default application as in CODESYS standard.

Note

When a device has been assigned to the EtherCAT Safety Module, the mapping dialog of the device editor shows only this assignment and no longer the channel mapping to the variables of the main controller.

Variable	List of variables (tree view) Example: `FSoE address` Note: Double-click the variable to edit it Changes made are marked in red. Only the last change is marked. All change markings are removed when the editor is closed.
Channel	Non-editable information from the device description file (SDD file) Input: Variables mapped to input channels represent the corresponding input signals of the field device. They can be read. Output: Variables mapped to output channels can be written and set the output signals of the field device.
Type	Non-editable information from the device description file (SDD file) IEC data type
Unit	Non-editable information from the device description file (SDD file)
Description	Non-editable information from the device description file (SDD file)
Button: Reset mapping	Deletes all mapping variables specified in the table and resets the mapping of the physical device to the logical I/O.

FSOES

Displays the standard application object which is connected to this logical I/O

Table 74. Instances (implicitly available)

Variable

Instance name

These variables are available to the safety application as global variables.

An implicit global variable with the corresponding name and the data type specified in the Type column are created in the safety application for each input or output channel of an I/O module that a variable has been assigned.

For a description of how to use the variables defined here, see: Using Logical I/Os Programmatically

Data type

Example: Logical

Tab: Information

Function: Shows information and, if applicable, an image of the respective logical I/O.

Listed as information: Name, Vendor, Categories, Type, ID, Version, Order number, and Description
