"CIF x0 DPM / PB" tab

Hilscher CIFx0-DPM and -PB 2:

Address: Enter the DPRAM card address here. This address is jumped on the card and can assume the following values: from 0xC8000 to 0xEF800 in steps of 0x800 (and 0x2000 at CIF 30-PB)

Search: Searches the computer for available CIF-30 cards (only when TwinCAT is active)

Stations No.: Each Profibus device requires a unique station number - including the master.

Baudrate: Set the Profibus baudrate. Automatically tests whether the connected slave also supports this baudrate.

Cycle Ticks: The smallest possible cycle time for the currently specified slave is set here. It can be manually increased (in ms)

Synchronous Mode: The highest priority task linked with the corresponding device controls the fieldbus cycle and is thereby synchronized with the fieldbus. All other tasks are served asynchronously via corresponding buffers.
