Attention! You are handling
dangerous electrical current!
Disconnect the supply voltage before making any wiring modifications.
Ensure that the system cannot be switched on accidentally.
Ensure that the device and its surroundings are potential free.
Please refer to the specific installation and mounting instructions.
Qualified personal only should handle the device.
The device has to be mounted in such a way that no unintentional
operation may occur.
All control and supply voltage wiring must be routed so that no
inductive or capacitive interferenc e or any other severe electric al noise
disturbance may interfere with the device.
Supply voltage variation must not exceed the specifications in the
technical details. If so, proper performance of the device cannot be
guaranteed.
Emergency installations according to EN60204/IEC204 (VDE0113)
must remain active in all modes of the automated installation.
Activation of the emergency installation must not cause an
uncontrolled or undefined start cycle.
The software engineer has to make sure, that no failure func tions of
the automated installation may occur when line faults or core faults
arise.
Notwithstanding the above, local regulations must be observed in all
installations.

SLS-500-Configurator does not respond
If you have no response from SLS-500-Configurator after a
half-minute, it is probably that your PowerPoint settings do not
allow macros to run.
You can change this setting in the menu option
‘Tools’/’Macro’/’Security’. If you chose the security level high,
no macros are car ried out. To activate the m acros you have to
choose a security level of medium or low. If you choose
medium PowerPoint will question while loading whether
macros may become carried out or not.
SLS-500-Configurator responds successfully

Before you can draw a program plan with SLS-500Configurator you must define a current configuration of your
SPS System. Choose menu option CONFIGURATION. The
following configuration page appears:

Add objects
In order to add a new expansion module to the current
configuration select the des ired module from the configuration
page and click OK:
The following display shows a system with 1 x SLS-500 base m odule, 1 x
Analogue I/O module and 1 x Term 4 MMI.
Every newly selected module will appear on the upper left of
the page on top of the SLS500 base module graphic. You must
drag and drop the module into the pos ition you require in order
of priority within the program.
ADVICE: You can also adjust the communication speed of SLS-500
Master Control Modules. Choose Fast, Norm al and Slow in the
Priority drop-down menu.
Fast: The module scans the system every 10ms.
Normal: The module scans the system every 100ms.
Slow: The module scans the system every second.

Delete objects
Select the desired module and delete it by pressing Del.
ADVICE: The module will only be deleted in the configuration page. Any
programmed object of the deleted module will not be deleted
from your program! This will be detected when you attempt to
compile your program. These objects must be deleted
manually

Program object priority
SLS-500-Configurator interprets the priority of the program
objects from lef t to right and f rom top to bottom of the program
page. The remote numbers are allocated exactly the same
way. The base module has the definition L1. All expansion
modules have the definition Remote. Beginning with a
continuous number from 1. R1 is the fir st expansion; R2 is the
second and so on.
Define in/outputs
If you add a module to the configuration, you can define a
name for every digital or analogue input and output. When you
use the input or output, the spec ified name will be displayed.
This causes better understanding while programming.

Data type: Depending on the object, connections c an operate with all data
types.
Function: The line connects the output of an object to the input of
another object. It’s important for the connection that you have
the correct direction of the arrow.
Mind the direction of the arrow
The arrowhead has always to be next to the input of the
following object.
Example:

The connection was created the wrong way, since the
arrowhead points at the output of the digital input. Take a look

When you click on the connec tion objec t, you will see coloured
rectangles on both ends:
If the rectangles are green, the ends are free and are not
linked with an object. Now m ove the cursor to one of the ends
and left-click the arr ow. Hold the mouse key and drag the line
to an object.
You will notice that small blue symbols appear on the object
that you drag the line to and that the line snaps to the nearest
blue symbol. Select a suitable blue symbol and release the
mouse key. The selected symbol turns from green too red.
This is confirmation of a correct connection.
With the yellow symbol you can change the exact position of
the connection:
Correct connections: Click on the connecting line. Both

Data types of SLS-500Configurator
SLS-500-CONFIGURATOR supports three different data
types:
Bit data
This data type can save exactly 1 Bit or the information 0 or 1.
Examples for bit data are digital inputs or outputs or status
markers.
Analogue data
This data type has the ability to process signed analogue
values to three decimal places. The maximum numerical range
is –2147483.647 to +2147483.648.
Examples for analogue data ar e analogue inputs or analogue
outputs.
Text data
This data type can save text messages. Depending on the
destination system, character strings with different lengths are
supported. Maximum 20 characters per text.
Examples for text data are messages for a display or serial
communication objects.

Constants of SLS-500-Configurator
Constants define a fixed value. You can set constants for
every data type of SLS-500-Configurator:
Using several constants with the same value, a „constant

Binary constants
Binary constants define a value of 0 or 1. Choose from the

Flow/Constants. You will get to the following dialogue:
Now choose binary constant 0 and confirm your choice with
OK.
The active programming page will insert the following symbol:

Also hexadecimal constants will be processed. Write
hexadecimals as follows: starting character is 0x, a c haracter
string follows consis ting of 0.9 or A.F or a..f . You can use a dot
as a visual cut- off signal between the characters as often as
you want. Example: 0xFF.A0. Hexadecimal constants will be
processed as 32-Bit values:
0xff88

In addition binary constants are supported. Binary constants
start with a % character. A binary number 0 or 1 follows. You
can use dots as visual cut-off signals.
Examples: %0 or %1
