Beckhoff tab

FirmwareUpdate: This button enables updating of the firmware of a Beckhoff DP slave over a KS2000 cable via the serial interface

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: It is possible here to measure the cycle time for the coupler (DP + K-Bus); the K-bus update time is sometimes rather imprecise for synchronized processes.
