2.5 Developing the Project
2.5.1 TAC XBuilder
TAC XBuilder is a programming tool for creating the gateway applica-
tion for the Xenta 913. Connections between signals in the device struc-
ture are created using XBuilder. The signals can also be displayed on
different web pages in a web browser. The gateway application is sub-
sequently sent to Xenta 913 and the transferring of data between the
devices is then handled by the Xenta 913.
2.5.2 TAC Xenta 913 Folder Structure
For the Xenta 913, the folder structure for the gateway application and
the web pages is created using XBuilder. The folder structure contains
the connections between the devices’ signals and the presentation part
of the system, that is the web pages. In this manual, we use the sample
project ACME and add the folder structure for the presentation. To be
able to create the gateway application and the web pages, the device
structure (see Fig. 2.5) is assumed to be in place. This is however not
necessary. The gateway application can be made in advance, that is
before the devices and the LonWorks network are in place. For more
information about developing a project without a network in place, see
TAC Xenta Server – TAC Networks, Technical Manual.
