Integrated, customizable DFB library b
PLC simulator on PC for program validation prior to installation b
Built-in tests b and diagnostics
Wide range of online services b
FDT/DTM function
Unity Pro enables integration of eldbus architectures into engineering control
systems using FDT/DTM technology:
FDT b (Field Device Tool) is the container that supports the device DTMs.
DTM b (Device Type Manager) is the conguration tool for devices with integrated
graphic interfaces. It contains the properties specic to each device.
In addition to the FDT/DTM standard, Unity Pro uses specic information from the
Master DTM created for the Probus Remote Master (PRM) module and the
Modbus/TCP and EtherNet/IP network module BMXNOC0401.
Use of the Master DTM allows Unity Pro to perform the following actions:
Manage the PLC I/O scan b
Create the application variables based on the description of the process objects b
from the connected DTM devices
Manage synchronization with the PLC conguration b
Create a generic DTM from the description les (GSD or EDS) b
The DTM conguration is stored in the PLC memory so that the application can be
downloaded in its entirety. It is also saved in the PLC project le (STU) and the
archive le (STA).
A third-party DTM can be installed in the DTM hardware catalog.
The DTM hardware catalog can be used to sort or lter the DTMs according to
various criteria such as Device, Vendor, Groups or Protocols.
The DTM Browser in Unity Pro:
Displays the eldbus topologies in a tree structure b
Allows the user to congure the DTM devices: b
