In addition to icon, designation and name, the respective device index for each device is spe-
cified. The index, which is automatically assigned by ASIMON for each configured device,
uniquely identifies each device, regardless of whether it has been configured for the first or se-
cond OSSD.
The index begins with 32 and increases incrementally by 1. Within the configuration log, each
configured device can be uniquely identified using the index.
Note
The display of the devices can be modified.
To do this, on the Extras menu select the Display options… menu item or click the button
(see chapter 3.2.4 "The work area").
Note
When performing diagnostics via the AS-i, the PLC is informed of the indices of the devices
which are switched off. Previously, if a device was added to or deleted from the configuration,
all subsequent indices were shifted. As a result, it was necessary for the user to modify the
diagnostics program in the PLC.
In the Edit menu of ASIMON version 2.1, you can now use the Device index assignment
menu item to freely assign diagnosis indices to the devices for AS-Interface diagnostics (see
chapter 7). When making the assignments, you can specify whether the diagnosis index range
is 0 … 47 or analogous to the device indices 32… 79.
