Configuring Central Racks
Properties of components such as modules or interfaces are addresses and
parameters. Only if you want to change the default values do you need to read the
following sections.
You have arranged in the configuration table the component for which you want to
modify the properties.
Every component (module, interface, or interface submodule) has default
properties; for example, default measurement types and measuring ranges for
analog input modules.
If you want to change these settings, proceed as follows:
1. Double-click in the configuration table on the component (for example, module
or interface submodule) that is to have parameters assigned or select the row
and select the Edit > Object Properties menu command.
Using the right-hand mouse button: Move the mouse pointer to the component,
press the right-hand mouse button, and select the Object Properties
command from the pop-up menu
2. Use the displayed tabbed dialog boxes to assign the component properties.
