consequential or incidental damages due to negligence or bad/improper management of the device,
even if SENECA is well aware of these possible damages.
SENECA, its subsidiaries, affiliates, group companies, suppliers and distributors do not guarantee that
the functions fully meet the customer's expectations or that the device, firmware and software should
have no errors or operate continuously.
1.1. DESCRIPTION
The R series is based on devices equipped with two Ethernet switch ports that allow a chain connection to the
next Ethernet device (daisy chain), so expensive industrial Ethernet switches are not required and wiring is
simplified.
The hardware present in the devices allows the internal switch to work even if the device is faulty or not
powered for up to 4 days (LAN function with bypass in case of failure).
Another important function is the possibility of copying inputs on remote outputs of R series products without
the aid of a master device (peer 2 peer function) (only for R-8AI-8DIDO version).

2. CONNECTION OF THE DEVICES TO A NETWORK (ONLY R-8AI-8DIDO MODEL)
2.1. CONNECTION OF THE DEVICE TO A NETWORK
The factory configuration of the IP address is:
Static address: 192.168.90.101
Therefore, multiple devices must not be inserted on the same network with the same static IP.
If you want to connect multiple devices on the same network, you need to change the IP address configuration
using the Easy Setup 2 software.
ATTENTION!
DO NOT CONNECT 2 OR MORE FACTORY-CONFIGURED DEVICES ON THE SAME NETWORK,
OR THE ETHERNET INTERFACE WILL NOT WORK
(192.168.90.101 IP ADDRESS CONFLICT)
If the addressing mode with DHCP is activated and an IP address is not received within 1 minute, the device
will set an IP address with a fixed error:
169.254.x.y
Where x.y are the last two values of the MAC ADDRESS.
This way it is possible to install more I/O of the R series and then configure the IP with the Easy Setup 2
software even on networks without a DHCP server.
2.2. USING EASY SETUP 2 TO CONFIGURE DEVICES
The Easy Setup 2 software allows:
 Configuring R series devices via the USB port

 Searching and configuring Seneca R-series devices on an Ethernet network
In the case of a first installation we recommend following these steps:
1) Install the Easy Setup 2 software

2) Power and connect the device to the PC via the USB port

3) Configure the device with the IP address and the desired configuration
4) Install the device

If many devices are installed using the USB port:
1) Power and connect the device to the PC via the USB port
2) Configure the automatic address via DHCP from the search window
3) Install all the devices in the network
4) If there is no DHCP server in the network, after 1 minute the devices will set a fail IP address (see
chapter 2.1)
5) Wait for all the device STS LEDs to be on steady.
6) At this point, using Easy Setup 2, create a new Ethernet project and find all the devices with the
"search" button, then reconfigure the devices with the most appropriate work addresses.
In case of many devices using the Ethernet port:
1) Power and connect the first device to the PC via the Ethernet port
2) Perform the search
3) Change the address of the device with IP 192.168.90.101 from the search window
4) Connect the second device in Daisy Chain, search and return to step 2) until all devices are
configured
The search software included in Easy Setup 2 works at Ethernet Layer 2 level (through the Seneca Discovery
protocol) and it is therefore not necessary to have an Ethernet configuration compatible with the device you
are looking for to change its IP. For the general configuration of the device it is necessary to have compatible
configuration.

3. I/O COPY USING THE PEER TO PEER FUNCTION WITHOUT WIRING (ONLY R-8AI-
8DIDO MODEL)
The "R" series devices can be used to copy and update in real time an input channel on a remote output
channel without the aid of a master controller.
For example, a digital input can be copied to a remote digital output device:
Note that no controller is required because the communication is managed directly by the R series devices.
It is possible to make a more sophisticated connection, for example it is possible to copy the inputs to different
R-series remote devices (from Device 1 Input 1 to Device 2 Output1, Device 1 Input 2 to Device 3 Output 1 etc
...)
It is also possible to copy an input to an output of multiple remote devices:
Each R-series device can send and receive a maximum of 32 inputs.
For further information, see chapter 6.2.5.

4. MODBUS PASSTHROUGH (ONLY R-8AI-8DIDO MODEL)
Thanks to the Modbus Passthrough function it is possible to extend the amount of I/O available in the device
via the RS485 port and the Modbus RTU slave protocol, for example by using the Seneca Z-PC series
products.
In this mode the RS485 port stops working as Modbus RTU slave and the device becomes a Modbus TCP-IP
gateway to Modbus RTU serial:
Each Modbus TCP-IP request with station address other than that of the R series device is converted into a
serial packet on the RS485 and, in the case of a reply, it is turned over to TCP-IP.
Therefore, it is no longer necessary to purchase gateways to extend the I/O number or to connect already
available Modbus RTU I/O.

5. INPUT UPDATE TIME
5.1. ANALOGUE INPUT UPDATE TIME
The sampling time of the analogue inputs depends on the ADC sampling time.
If an analogue input is disabled, its acquisition time must not be counted.
The refresh time of an analogue channel is:
𝑇𝑟𝑒𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑠ℎ [𝑚𝑠] = (𝑁𝑎𝑐𝑡 + 1) ∗ (2 ∗ 𝑇𝐴𝐷𝐶 [𝑚𝑠] + 10𝑚𝑠)
Where:
𝑁𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝑟𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎 𝑖𝑙 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑜 𝑑𝑖 𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑖 𝑎𝑛𝑎𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑖𝑐𝑖 𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑖
𝑇𝐴𝐷𝐶 [𝑚𝑠] 𝑟𝑎𝑝𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎 𝑖𝑙 𝑡𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑜 𝑑𝑖 𝑐𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑒𝑙𝑙 ′ 𝐴𝐷𝐶 𝑖𝑛 𝑚𝑠
If, for example, the sampling time of the ADC is set at 50ms and all 8 analogue inputs are active, we have:
T refresh = 9 * (2*50 +10ms) = 9*110ms = 990 ms
5.2. DIGITAL INPUT UPDATE TIME
The sampling time of the digital inputs takes place between the sampling of one channel and the other so the
I/O update takes place every:
𝑇𝑟𝑒𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑠ℎ 𝑑𝑖𝑔𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 [𝑚𝑠] = (2 ∗ 𝑇𝐴𝐷𝐶 [𝑚𝑠] + 10𝑚𝑠)
If, for example, the sampling time of the ADC is set to 50ms, the refresh of the digital I/Os is:
T refresh = (2*50 +10ms) = 110ms

6. WEBSERVER (ONLY R-8AI-8DIDO MODEL)
6.1. ACCESS TO THE WEBSERVER
Access to the web server takes place using a web browser and entering the IP address of the device.
To find out the IP address of the device, use the "search" function of the “Easy Setup 2" software (see chapter
11).
On first access the user name and password will be requested.

The default values are:
Username: admin
Password: admin
ATTENTION!
AFTER THE FIRST ACCESS CHANGE USER NAME AND PASSWORD IN ORDER TO PREVENT

MODBUS RTU PROTOCOL

6.2.2. SETUP AIN 1. 8 SECTION
This section allows the configuration of the analogue inputs present in the device.
ATTENTION!
THE DEVICE CAN DETECT THE COLD JOINT TEMPERATURE FROM THE INTERNAL SENSORS OR
FROM ANALOGUE INPUT 1 (THROUGH EXTERNAL PT100-TYPE SENSOR).
IN THIS CASE ALL THE DETECTIONS OF THE INTERNAL SENSORS WILL BE REPLACED BY THE
READING OF ANALOGUE INPUT 1.
ANALOGUE INPUT MODE (default +-30V)

Set the type of measurement for the selected input.
It is possible to choose between the following types of input:
+-30V
+-100mV
+-20 mA
Thermocouple
PT100 2 wires (for use as a cold junction and only for input 1)
PT100 3 wires (for use as a cold junction and only for input 1)
If the"IN2..8 CJ PT100" type of measurement is selected for input 1, this will automatically be used as a
measurement of the cold junction for all inputs configured by thermocouple between IN2 and IN8 included.
ANALOGUE INPUT 1 PT100 WIRE RESISTANCE [Ohm] (default 0 Ohm)

(Only for analogue input 1) allows to compensate the cable resistance in case of 2-wire connection to the
PT100.
ANALOGUE INPUT TC TYPE (default J)

In the case of thermocouple measurement, it allows to select the type of thermocouple between:
J, K, R, S, T, B, E, N, L
ANALOGUE INPUT TEMPERATURE OFFSET (default 0°C)

Sets a temperature offset in °C for thermocouple measurements
ANALOGUE INPUT ONBOARD COLD JUNCTION (default ENABLED)

In the case of thermocouple measurement, it enables or disables the automatic cold junction offset of the
device.
If channel 1 has been configured as PT100 cold junction measurement, this sensor will be used for the offset
and not the one inside the instrument.
ANALOGUE INPUT COLD JUCTION VALUE [°C] (default 0°C)

In the case of thermocouple measurement, if the automatic measurement of the cold junction has been
deactivated, it is possible to manually enter the cold junction temperature.
ANALOGUE INPUT BURNOUT MODE (default FAIL VALUE)

In the case of thermocouple measurement, it selects the behaviour in case of sensor failure:
In the case of "Last Value" the value is stopped at the last valid value, in the case of "Fail Value" the "Burnout"
value is loaded in the registers.
ANALOGUE INPUT BURNOUT VALUE (default 10000°C)

In the case of thermocouple measurement, if the ANALOGUE INPUT BURNOUT MODE = “FAIL VALUE”
mode is activated and the sensor is in the “burn” state, it allows you to set a value in °C to be taken by the
measurement register.
ANALOGUE INPUT UNIT MEASURE (default °C)

In the case of thermocouple measurement, it allows you to set the measurement unit of the measurement
register between °C, K, °F and mV.
ANALOGUE INPUT FILTER [samples] (default 0)

Allows you to set the moving average filter with the selected number of samples. If the value is “0” the filter is
disabled.
ANALOGUE INPUT START SCALE

Represents the start of the electrical scale of the analogue measurement used for the register of the
engineering measurement.
ANALOGUE INPUT STOP SCALE

Represents the electrical full scale of the analogue measurement used for the engineering measurement
register.
ANALOGUE INPUT ENG START SCALE

Represents the value of the engineering measurement register when the input reaches the value shown in the
ANALOGUE INPUT START SCALE parameter.
For example if:
ANALOGUE INPUT START SCALE = 4mA
ANALOGUE INPUT STOP SCALE = 20mA
ANALOGUE INPUT ENG STOP SCALE = -200 metres
ANALOGUE INPUT ENG START SCALE = 200 metres
With a 12 mA input the engineering value will be 0 metres.

ANALOGUE INPUT ENG STOP SCALE

Represents the value of the engineering measurement register when the input reaches the value shown in the
ANALOGUE INPUT STOP SCALE parameter.
For example if:

ANALOGUE INPUT START SCALE = 4mA
ANALOGUE INPUT STOP SCALE = 20mA
ANALOGUE INPUT ENG STOP SCALE = -200 metres
ANALOGUE INPUT ENG START SCALE = 200 metres
With a 12 mA input the engineering value will be 0 metres.
6.2.3. DIGITAL I/O SETUP SECTION
This section allows the configuration of the digital I/Os present in the device.
DIGITAL I/O MODE (default Input)

Selects whether the chosen terminal will work as an input or output.
DIGITAL INPUT NORMALLY HIGH/LOW (default Normally Low)

If selected as digital input, it configures whether the input is normally high or low.
DIGITAL OUTPUT NORMALLY STATE (default Normally Open)

If selected as digital output, it configures whether the output is normally open or closed.
DIGITAL OUTPUT WATCHDOG (default Disabled)

If selected as digital output, it sets the output watchdog mode.
If “Disabled”, it disables the watchdog function for the selected output.
If "Enabled on Modbus Communication" the output goes into "Watchdog state" if there has been no generic
Modbus communication within the set time.
If "Enabled on Modbus Digital Output Writing" the output goes into "Watchdog state" if there has been no
writing of the output within the set time.
DIGITAL OUTPUT WATCHDOG STATE (default Open)

Sets the value that the digital output must adopt if the watchdog has been triggered.
DIGITAL OUTPUT WATCHDOG TIMEOUT [s] (default 100s)

Represents the watchdog time of the digital output in seconds.

6.2.4. EVENT SETUP SECTION
This section allows the configuration of events to send analogue values with the P2P protocol.
EVENT AIN MODE (Default: DISABLED)
Represents the event condition for sending packets linked to the analogue inputs in the P2P protocol.
It may be:
"Disabled" the sending event of the analogue packet is disabled
"Event when AIN > HIGH THRESHOLD" the packet sending event occurs when the analogue input exceeds
the "High" threshold set.
"Event when AIN < LOW THRESHOLD" the packet sending event occurs when the analogue input is lower
than the "Low" threshold set.
EVENT AIN HIGH THRESHOLD (Default: 0)

Threshold value linked to the “High” event.
EVENT AIN LOW THRESHOLD (Default: 0)

Threshold value linked to the “Low” event.
EVENT AIN HISTERESYS

Hysteresis value for the reset of the "event" condition.
For example, if the event is configured in "Event when AIN > HIGH THRESHOLD" mode, when the analogue
input exceeds the threshold value, the packet will be sent, to send the next packet it will be necessary for the
analogue value to fall below the value (EVENT AIN HIGH THRESHOLD + EVENT AIN HYSTERESIS) and
then to rise above the HIGH value again.
6.2.5. P2P CONFIGURATION
In the P2P Client section it is possible to define which local events to send to one or more remote devices.
This way it is possible to send the status of the inputs to the remote outputs and obtain the input-output
replication without wiring. It is also possible to send the same input to several outputs simultaneously.
In the P2P Server section it is instead possible to define which inputs must be copied to the outputs.
The "Disable all rules" button places all the rules in a disabled status (default).
The "APPLY" button allows you to confirm and then save the set rules in the non-volatile memory.

6.2.5.1. P2P CLIENT SECTION
The "Automatic configuration" button allows you to prepare the rules for sending all the inputs available in
the device in use.
En.
Selects whether the copy rule is active or not.
Loc. Ch.
Selects the status of which channel should be sent to the remote device(s).
Remote IP
Selects the IP address of the remote device to which the status of that input channel is to be sent.
If the channel has to be sent simultaneously to all the devices (broadcast), enter the broadcast address
(255.255.255.255) as the IP address.
Remote Port

Selects the communication port for sending the status of the inputs. It must coincide with the P2P SERVER
PORT parameter of the remote device.
En
Selects operation in "Only Timed" or "Timed+Event" mode.
In "Only Timed" mode, the status of the inputs is sent on each "tick [ms]" and then refreshed continuously
(cyclic sending).
In the “Timed+Event” mode, the status of the inputs is sent to a digital event (change of status).
The "Timed+Event" mode is only possible for the digital event on the analogue input but not on the analogue
input itself.
Tick [ms]
Sets the cyclical sending time of the input status.
ATTENTION!
IN CASE OF ENABLED WATCHDOG OF DIGITAL OUTPUTS THE RULE'S TICK TIME MUST BE LOWER
THAN THE WATCHDOG TIMEOUT SET
ATTENTION!
IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO COPY SOME I/O OF THE SAME DEVICE (FOR EXAMPLE, COPY THE I01
INPUT TO D01) BY ENTERING THE IP OF THE DEVICE AS REMOTE IP

6.2.5.2. P2P SERVER SECTION
The "Automatic configuration" button allows you to prepare the rules to receive all the inputs on the outputs
of the device in use.
En.
Selects whether the copy rule is active or not.
Rem. Ch.
Selects the status of which remote channel should be received by the local device.
Remote IP
Selects the IP address of the remote device from which to receive the input status.
If the channel must be received simultaneously by all the devices (broadcast), enter the broadcast address
(255.255.255.255) as the IP address.
Loc. Ch.
Selects the copy destination of the remote input value.

ATTENTION!
IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO COPY SOME I/O OF THE SAME DEVICE (FOR EXAMPLE, COPY THE I01
INPUT TO D01) BY ENTERING THE IP OF THE DEVICE AS REMOTE IP. HOWEVER, THE ETHERNET
PORT MUST BE CORRECTLY CONNECTED.
ATTENTION!
THE ANALOGUE EVENT LINKED TO A THRESHOLD IN THE P2P PROTOCOL IS IDENTIFIED AS A
DIGITAL INPUT. IN PARTICULAR:
THE EVENT ON AIN1 IS IDENTIFIED AS A CHANGE OF STATUS ON THE VIRTUAL DIN9 INPUT
…
6.2.5.3. P2P CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE
In the following example we have No.2 devices and we want to copy the status of digital input 1 of the first to
the digital output of the second.
The IP address of Device 1 is 192.168.1.10
The IP address of Device 2 is 192.168.1.11
Let's move to device 1 with IP address 192.168.1.10 and select the sending of digital input 1 to the remote
address 192.168.1.11 of device 2 this way:
DEVICE 1
Now let's move on to device 2 and first configure the P2P server communication port on 50026:

And we now configure the P2P server, the channel to be received from 192.168.1.10 is Di_1 and must be
copied to Do_1:
DEVICE 2
With this configuration, each time digital input 1 of device 1 (192.168.1.10) changes status, a packet will be
sent to device 2 (192.168.1.11) which will copy it to digital output 1.
After 1 second, the same packet will be sent cyclically.
6.2.5.4. P2P EXECUTION TIME

The switching time depends on the client device model and the server device model in addition to the
congestion of the ethernet network.
For example, for the R-16DI8DO model, the switching time of the remote digital output as a response to an
incoming event into another R-16DI8DO is about 20 ms (daisy chain connection of 2 devices, 1 set rule).
As regards the R-8AI-8DIDO model, the refresh time of the digital inputs/outputs and analogue inputs typical of
the device must also be considered (see chapter 5).
6.3. FW/CONFIGURATION UPDATE SECTION

The “Configure” section allows you to save or open a complete configuration of the device.
The “Firmware” section allows you to update the device firmware in order to obtain new functions.
ATTENTION!

11. SEARCH AND MODIFICATION OF THE DEVICE IP WITH SENECA DISCOVERY TOOL
(R-8AI-8DIDO MODEL ONLY)
The search and modification of a device can be performed directly in the Easy Setup 2 software.
If Seneca devices that are not part of the R series are also used, it is more convenient to set the addresses
with a single software.
When in the R series device the STS LED is on steady, it is possible to obtain the IP address which has been
set using the "Seneca Discovery" tool too.
The software can be downloaded from:
https://www.seneca.it/en/linee-di-prodotto/software/easy/sdd
Pressing the "search" button starts the search for all Seneca devices present in the network even if with IP
addresses not compatible with the current PC configuration:
It is now possible to change the address by pressing the "Assign" button:

The software works at layer 2 level and it is therefore not necessary to have an Ethernet configuration
compatible with the device you are looking for.
12. PROFINET IO (R-8AI-8DIDO-P MODEL ONLY)

Type of protocol: Class A Device, Cyclic Real-time (RT) and Acyclic Data
The device has been tested using the following PLCs:

SIEMENS S7 1200 and 1500 (Tia Portal 16)
CODESYS Runtime 3.5 (Codesys 3.5)
12.1. STEP BY STEP CREATION OF A PROJECT WITH SIEMENS PLC (TIA PORTAL 16)
Creating a new project:
12.1.1. INSTALLING THE GSD FILE
Install the GSD file of the Seneca product:

Point to the directory where the file is and press OK, then the list of GSD files in the folder will appear:
Click on "install".
12.1.2. INSERTION OF THE SIEMENS PLC IN THE PROJECT
Now insert the Siemens PLC (in our example a SIEMATIC S7 1200), click on "Add new device ...":


Confirm and the PLC will be added to the rack:
Now click on the PLC and select Profinet interface -> Ethernet addresses

Set the IP you want (in this case 192.168.90.44) and the PLC subnet:

Move on to the network view:
12.1.3. INSERTION OF THE PROFINET SENECA IO
On the right, select "Hardware Catalogue" and then under "Additional Field Device" -> PROFINET IO -> I/O ->
Seneca R-Series-> Header module (in the example an R-16DI-8DO device is shown):
Drag the device to the network view:

Now associate it to the PLC by clicking with the left mouse on "Not assigned" and then select the PLC:
Click twice on the Seneca device and configure the IP address here too (for example 192.168.90.48):

In Profinet the devices are identified by their name, so right click on the Seneca device and select "Assign
device name"
Scan the network with "Update list" and set (if necessary) the device name with "Assign name".
12.1.4. CONFIGURATION OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE SENECA IO

It is also possible to directly configure the device IO without any external software.
To configure the device, click on the IO so that the "Unit parameters" appear:
At the next start, the PLC will send the desired configuration to the device.
12.1.5. COMPILATION AND SENDING OF THE PROJECT TO THE SIEMENS PLC
Now that the devices are configured, all that remains is to compile and send the configuration to the PLC.
The first icon compiles while the second sends the project:
Before sending the project to the PLC, you are asked to select the ethernet interface and start the search, in
order to select the PLC and press "Load".

Once the project has been sent, RUN the PLC:
And go ON-Line so as to check if there are any errors:
If everything is correct you will get a green icon next to the Seneca device:

12.1.6. READING AND WRITING OF THE SENECA IO FROM TIA PORTAL
It is also possible to read and write the Seneca IO (for debugging purposes) directly from the TIA portal.
Define the PLC tags directly in the "standard tag table":

Add the tags related to the IO (in the example it is an R-16DI-8DO that is 16 digital inputs and 8 digital
outputs). The addresses are written here:
So bytes I1 and I2 contain the 16 inputs, byte Q1 the 8 outputs:
After this operation, define a new control table:
Click on "Add new control table" and then insert the variables

Since you have already defined them previously, just select the ones we want to monitor from the list:
Once you have added all of them you will get:

Now compile, send the project and go online with the PLC (all operations seen previously):
Once online, press the glasses icon to update the status of the variables:
Under the "Control value" column you can read the I/O value in real time.
To control the outputs, it is necessary to enter "TRUE" in the "Command value" column and then press the
icon with the lightning bolt to order the writing:
In the "Control value" column, the outputs are now correctly read to "True".
12.2. STEP-BY-STEP PROJECT CREATION WITH CODESYS 3.5 PLC
Create a new standard project:

12.2.1. INSERTION OF THE CODESYS PLC IN THE PROJECT
Configure the PLC by selecting it in the tree on the left and then browsing the network:
Select the PLC after scanning the network:
The PLC is now connected to the system:
Now that the PLC has been detected, move on to insert a Profinet port on standard ethernet:
Right click on device and "add device":
Then add the Profinet IO Master:
Double click on Ethernet, set the Ethernet port and the IP address of the PLC (in this case use 192.168.90.44):

Set also the address range for the Profinet peripheral, double click on PN_Controller:
12.2.2. INSTALLING THE GSD
Now you need to connect the Seneca slave device PROFINET IO to the Profinet master (controller).
First install the GSD file of the Seneca IO.
Select Tools->Device Repository:
Now import the GSD file by selecting Profinet IO Slave and then Install:
Now point to the correct folder and press OK.

Codesys has now added the GSD file correctly.
At this point you can scan the network in search of Slave devices (Device).
First compile the project and log in to the PLC:
12.2.3. INSTALLATION OF THE SENECA PROFINET IO
Now that you are connected to the PLC, run the scan to find the devices:

In the list of devices, select the Seneca IO and then "Copy to project":
At this point you have added the device to the project:

12.2.4. CONFIGURATION OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE SENECA IO
If you want to change the IO configuration parameters, you can set them from here:
Check that everything is correct by compiling and running the PLC.

The PLC (Raspberry-pi) is quite slow and not real time, consequently it cannot manage the Profinet at
maximum speed so we modify the values by setting safety parameters:

12.2.5. READING AND WRITING THE SENECA IO FROM CODESYS
Now see how it is possible to read and write IO on the Seneca device.
To write and read the status of the IO you have to insert a few code lines under PRG.
In the program, read the inputs from the %IB0 and %IB1 addresses and write in the %QB0 address as it is
obtained from here:
Declare two 8-bit (Byte) variables for the 16 inputs and one byte for the 8 outputs.
In the program, instead, read the inputs from %IB0 and %IB1 and write the outputs on %QB0:

Go into login and start:
You read the current states of the IOs here:
while to write the outputs you just set the byte value in the "prepared value" column, for example by writing
0xFF (255 decimal = 11111111 binary) all the outputs will be brought to 1:

And then with "Write values" all the outputs are activated correctly.
