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.
