6.1Introduction to Software Tools

Introduction

General

The products in the Advantys range must be configured to be able to operate

 

correctly on the network. There are three stages in the configuration process:

Configuration of the Advantys devices and the desired parameters.

Configuration of the network (master and slaves).

￿PLC setup and programming: I/O, startup of the network and subsequent use.

Note: For more information, please consult the appropriate documentation for the other network devices that may be required, the Advantys Configuration Tool online help (FTX ES 0•), the PLC manual etc.

Software Tools The software to be used depends on the PLC software workshop. Certain PLC software workshops can configure the network. The following diagram shows the software to be used for three Telemecanique PLC software workshops:
