“Sync-Unit Mapping” Tab
This tab shows all slaves inserted below the master and their mapping to synchronization units (Sync-Units). Sync-Units are groups of slaves. Grouping in smaller units makes it easier to identify and map errors. If a slave is missing in a Sync-Unit group, the other slaves in the group are displayed as missing in the next bus cycle. The device diagnostics can react as quickly as possible to the missing group. Unaffected groups can continue to operate without interference.
Single or multiple slaves can be combined into Sync-Units at the top of the tab.
New Sync-Units can be added or deleted at the bottom of the tab.
