In principle, the configuration dialog of a module consists of at least 3 tabs:

• General settings

• Analog signals

• Digital signals

Depending on the module type, there may be more or less tabs available.

The majority of all modules share the common properties which should be configured in the General tab of a module.

Since most modules have these general properties in common, they are described below.

For some modules, there are additional properties that need to be configured beyond these common items. Those are explained in the chapter of the corresponding module.

The tabs with the signal tables for analog and digital signals of a module are similar and offer the same functions for many modules. Some differences apply regarding data types and addressing. The most common features are also described below.
