The column Id cannot be edited. It contains the NV index. This index is also required as input variable "wNVIndex" for the PLC function blocks. - 6. Enter any text in column Nv Name. These descriptions are required in the LON configuration tool (not provided by Beckhoff) for identifying the respective variables.
- 7. Select the required SNVT in column Snvt Type.
- 8. In column Dir (Direction) you can specify whether the variable is sent (out) or received (in).
- 9. Enter any project name (click on PROJECTNAME
). - 10. Edit the program ID (Prog ID
). Do this by clicking Program ID, and selecting a Program ID. This program ID may only be issued once in your LON project. A maximum of 256 (0-255) program IDs can be used. This means that you can use 256 different configurations in one project.
LON terminals with the same configuration also have the same program ID. - 11. Press the button
to create the Xif file. This file is required in the LON configuration tool (not provided by Beckhoff). - 12. Use the button
to save the configuration in a BLC file. This file can be used to load the configuration if a terminal is replaced or to use the same configuration in another terminal. - The data can now be written to the terminal.
- 13. Use the buttons [>>>] or [<<<] to select the required slot, then use the button WRITE to write the data to the terminal. The slot may not be activated (green) during this process.
