Technical Description and Installation Instructions

1.7Modes of the CP 243-2

Standard Operation

In this type of operation, the user program accesses the user data of the AS-i slaves and the diagnostic data of the CP 243-2. Programming is simple and this type of operation is adequate for the majority of automation tasks.

In standard operation, no commands or special parameters are transferred to the slaves. This type of operation corresponds to the profile M0 of the AS-i master specification.

Extended Operation

In extended operation, the user program uses the command interface of the CP 243-2.

This means that the entire range of functions in the AS-i system is available to the PLC programmer. In particular, the AS-i master calls (for example to assign parameters to slaves) are available. This type of operation corresponds to the profile M1e of the AS-i master specification.
