Selection of word table address This address must be located in the W words CW words must not be used as the XBT BB terminal would write the data to this table The table is 10 words long and if an address is selected at the top of the memory space then the existence of the 10 words must be checked Example Address selected W3850 gt number of words configured gt 3860 e Selection of cycle time in ms This is the value of the period in which the XBT BB terminal updates the states of the function keys in the PLC memory The defauit value is 320 ms which corresponds to 3 updates per second Implementing too short a cycle time is pointless as this would increase the traffic on the line without significantly improving the response time Example Network 2 PLC station 7 SCM 2116 at slot 4 Address of XBT BB terminal 2 PLC table from word W 148 Parameter Table UNI TELWAY address Dialogue table address in PLC W148 W149 W150 i i wis i Cycle time 3 Programming the XBT BB terminal 3 4 Creating the message list To create the message list complete the information in the field for each message 11 or 23 according to the number of function keys on the selected XBT BB Presentation of message list During data entry use the ENTER key to move between fields If an error occurs a message describing the type of error is displayed in red in the error message zone
