4.2 Creating a Device Template
A device template is created for every type of device that the Xenta 913
communicates with. Knowledge of the information that is exchanged,
such as boolean signals or registers, must be readily available.
The device template makes the signals you want to use available in your
XBuilder project.
Once the template is created it can be used in any other project that com-
municates with the same type of device. For more information about
using existing device templates, see Section 11.5, “Working with Exist-
ing Device Templates”, on page 95.
Important
• To enable Ethernet communication to a remotely controlled
device you add an interface to the TCP-IP port in XBuilder, for
example a Modbus TCP Client.
Important
• Read the User Interface chapter in the TAC Device Editor Help
to learn more about the device editor user interface and terminol-
ogy.
