<Beckhoff> tab

Firmware Update
This button enables updating of the firmware of a Beckhoff DP slave over a KS2000 cable via the serial port.

2 byte PLC interface
Switches on the 2 byte PLC interface of the Beckhoff DP slave.

Synchron K-bus update
For Bus Couplers, the expected internal cycle time (K-Bus cycle + DP buffer transfer) is specified here.

Check terminals during start-up
If this checkbox is activated, table 9 is transferred to the coupler by means of DPV1 write, and the coupler only enters data exchange (DpState = 0) if the entries agree. This makes it possible to check the terminals more precisely when starting up than is done with PROFIBUS CfgData.

K-bus error
It is possible to specify the reaction to a K-bus error here (automatic or manual K-bus reset, reaction in the input data in the coupler)

PROFIBUS error
It is possible to specify the reaction to a PROFIBUS error here (reaction in the output data in the coupler)

Measure coupler cycle
The cycle time on the coupler (DP + K-bus) can be measured here.
