Adding Device Module to the Project

Instantiation of the Device Module

The instantiation of this Device Module requires that a Modbus manager be added to the serial interface of your controller.

Using Add Function from Template for this Device Module, you can:

  • map variables to physical inputs and outputs of your configuration

  • adjust initial values for selected variables which are part of the template

Variables selected for I/O mapping (input):

Variable

Data Type

Default Value

Description

GVL_<modul name>.xMcbRdyDrive

BOOL

–

Indicates the state of Motor Circuit Breaker (MCB).

GVL_<modul name>.xMcbRdyBypass1

BOOL

–

Indicates the state of the MCB of the direct online motor starter of motor 1.

GVL_<modul name>.xMcbRdyBypass2

BOOL

–

Indicates the state of the MCB of the direct online motor starter of motor 2.

GVL_<modul name>.xContactorActvMot1

BOOL

–

Indicates one of the contactors of motor 1 is energized.

GVL_<modul name>.xContactorActvMot2

BOOL

–

Indicates one of the contactors of motor 2 is energized.
