AS 488/TM

M02.02

4.3 Online Configuring as Stand-alone Operating Terminal

As replacement for an AS 230/235 local operating console with screen, configuration and process operating keyboard, the Online Configuring Console of PROGRAF AS+/NT has been extended for AS 488/TM with the following functions:

colored picture transmission

PBT (process operating console) function keys (analogous to ASBEDIEN)

The programm for the bus operating console is delivered as self-extracting file on a separate diskette in case no PROGRAF AS+/NT is available. But the new functions are also included in the version 4.01 of PROGRAF AS+/NT. The user description is included in the file BUS_BEDI_E.DOC.

The current AS 488/TM system software M02.02 is needed to use the new functions (an updated version M01.08 is not enough). But this AS system software and the bus operating console are complete downward compatible, i.e. the new online configuring console works also with all previous issues of the system software (black and white, without PBT function keys). In the same way the system software M02.02 works further with all previous configuring programs of PROGRAF AS+.

Installation:

A directory BUS_BEDI is extracted by starting the file BUSBEDI.EXE. For the German version you have to use the files BUS_BEDI.EXE and BUS_BEDI.INI from this, for the English version the files BUS_BEDI_E.EXE and BUS_BEDI.INI.

The settings within the file BUS_BEDI.INI have to be set by the user (see description BUS_BEDI.DOC).

If you use PROFIBUS-TM the file S7ONLINX.DLL is needed additionally.

Both character set files *.FNT needed for the correct screen display have to be copied into the Windows system directory FONTS during installation of the bus operating console. If they are already present there (e.g. by PROGRAF AS+/NT), the old character sets have to be deleted first. The new ones are compatible to those of PROGRAF AS+/NT and are also included in the new version 4.01 of PROGRAF AS+/NT. They correspond to those used with ASBEDIEN/NT.

With these character sets the AS characters and for that the ASBEDIEN window can be displayed with two sizes. The selection small or big depends on the resolution of the used grafic module (min 1024 x 768 for the big display).

When using the CS 275 system bus, additionally the driver NAT32 has to be installed for the interface modules N-AT/N-PCI. This happens by starting the installation program SETUP.EXE in the NAT-NPCI directory. During installation the hardware (I/O) address for the N-AT interface module has to be given (using the N-PCI this input is irrelevant, because it is determined by the driver). If this I/O address should be changed later, the driver has to be deinstalled, and installed again via NAT-NPCI\Setup.exe.

When using the PROFIBUS-TM system bus, a corresponding driver of SIMATIC NET is used for the interface modules CP5412/CP5613, which has to be installed separately (delivered with the CP).

The Bus Operating Console works with Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000.
