Device control (DCTRL)
Device commands (C00002/x)
Activate device command
When an online connection has been established, simply use the »Engineer« to activate a
device command by selecting the corresponding option from the Parameters tab in
C00002/x
("0: off" or "1: On / start").
Alternatively, the device command can also be activated via e.g. keypad or through a
master control by writing to C00002/x
.
Some of the frequently used device commands (such as "Save parameter set") can also
be executed via the Toolbar icons of the »Engineer« when an online connection has
been established:
Symbol Function
Enable controller
Inhibit controller
Save parameter set (for 8400: Save all parameter sets)
Note!
Device commands that can be executed via the Toolbar of the »Engineer« always
affect the element currently selected in the Project view including all
subelements!
• If no controller but e.g. a system module is selected in the Project view
instead, the corresponding device command will be activated in all lower-
level controllers that have an online connection to the »Engineer«.
Before the desired action is carried out, a confirmation prompt appears first,
asking whether the action is really to be carried out.
