Rules for arranging modules in the HW Config
Slot rules
Modules must be inserted in the rack without gaps.
Exception:
Slot 3 remains empty in the configuration table. This slot is reserved.
Note
The actual arrangement has no gaps, as otherwise the bus on the backplane would be
interrupted.

SIMOTION SCOUT provides the following support when you configure a station:
● A message will appear if, for example, a module cannot be inserted into the desired slot.
● Address areas are also checked to prevent dual allocation of addresses.
● The status bar or messages displayed provide feedback, which you should pay attention
to. Important information can also be found in the help.
● Temporary rules, that is, rules that apply only to a specific version, are not considered (such
as restriction of the useable slots due to a functional restriction for individual modules).
Consult the documentation or the current product information for the modules.
Note
Modules that are installed but not configured are repeatedly addressed via the PROFIBUS.
This requires additional computing time.
