6 Visualizing Signals
To easily view signal values on the web site, the signals in the system
can be made available. The signals are available on values pages, which
present the values as tables on web pages. Values pages are displayed
in the status viewer when a values page is clicked in the navigator.
After the values pages are created, they are downloaded to the
Xenta 913 and are used for verifying the communication on the serial
connection interface. It is not necessary, or even advisable, to configure
the connections to the LonWorks network at this stage.
6.1 Workflow for Visualizing Signals
The workflow for visualizing signals is as follows:
• Add signals in the system pane in the XBuilder project by drag-
ging signals from the network pane.
• Add the values pages.
• Create the connections between the signals and the values pages.
After the signals have been added and used on the values pages, the sig-
nals can be reused for the gateway application, that is, make the connec-
tions between the devices.
Note
• Connecting signals between devices on different networks does
not require signals in the system pane in XBuilder. Signals from
the network pane can be connected directly to values pages and
connection objects. However, to make the examples in this man-
ual easier to follow signals are created in the system pane.
