Selecting a measuring range

Selecting a measuring range (index 0x8000:0D, 0x8000:11)

The measuring range can optionally be selected via the process data (default) or via CoE. If the SAI Range Output process data are used, the measuring range is selected from these data. To select the measuring range via CoE, deselect the process record 0x1600 (TwinCAT System Manager -> Process Data tab, Sync Manager: 2, PDO assignment, then press the Reload button or F4 to accept the setting). Otherwise the CoE entries are write-protected. Selecting the measuring range via CoE or the process data has the same effect; "Mode" (index 0x8000:0D) selects the measurement type, "Range" (index 0x8000:11) selects the measuring range:
