Advantys Device | The first phase is accomplished by using the Advantys Configuration Tool |
Configuration | (FTX ES 0•). This tool is used to define each Advantys device, to set the parameters |
| and the functions of the inputs/outputs and to generate the configuration files |
| required to integrate each device into the master. |
Configuration |
|
There are two types of configuration file: | |
Files | EDS (Electronic Data Sheet) files, which define the structure of the data available |
| |
| in a splitter box (see the object dictionary). |
| DCF (Device Configuration File) files which, in addition to the information |
| contained in an EDS file, also contain settings data (Cf. CiA CAN standard |
| DS 306). |
|
|
| Note: For further information on EDS file creation, please refer to the user manual |
| or to the Advantys Configuration Tool online help. |
Network |
|
| |
This phase may be carried out by a specific software application (e.g. SyCon) or by | |
Configuration | certain PLC software workshops (e.g. Unity, Twido Suite...). This phase involves |
| integrating all devices into the network, and defining the network (master |
| configuration) so as to create a functional network. |
PLC Setup and |
|
This phase is carried out by the operator, via the PLC software workshop. | |
