Local process image in the TwinCAT configuration

The TwinCAT configuration (TwinCAT CONFIG) enables free mapping between fieldbus, K-bus and PLC variables. Variables can be linked independent of their address via the System Manager.

In the default configuration all Bus Terminals are assigned fixed addresses. If a Bus Terminal is inserted, the whole address range may be shifted. The TwinCAT configuration enables allocated variables to be linked to a Bus Terminal, as required. This is parameterized in the System Manager, and the configuration is then downloaded to the Bus Terminal Controller (see TwinCAT configuration). It is also possible to upload an existing TwinCAT configuration.
