Functions (continued)
Module editor (continued)
“Diagnostics” tab
This tab allows the user to perform diagnostics for the island connected to the PC
terminal where the Advantys conguration and debugging software resides.
“Options” tab
This tab is used to access the I/O module conguration options or network interface
options when ofine:
 Declaring scanning of a digital I/O module as “priority”. By default the software
declares the rst 10 island modules considered to be “fast” modules to have priority.
If the island includes more than 10 “fast” modules, the module priority must be
declared manually.
 Declaring a module as “mandatory”. The module is then designated as critical for
correct island operation. If the module fails or is not present, the island will no longer
be operational and will stop. It becomes operational again if an identical operational
module or same type of module is installed in the same position.
 Declaring a module as “not present”. This option makes it possible to physically
remove a module from the island while retaining the same process image. You can
thus dene an island with several “not present” modules without changing the PLC
program managing the island.
 Conguring the run-time-parameters (RTP) on the network interface module.
This option allows memory slots to be reserved on the I/O image (marked RTP)
so that the parameters can be transferred to the application program.
 Dening the maximum number of CANopen extension nodes on the network
interface module.
“I/O Mapping” tab
This tab is used to edit the I/O mapping for the selected standard module which
appears in the I/O image overview.
This function is used to optimize mapping of the I/O image overview dynamically,
one module at a time.
Others
Advantys software V5.5 and above includes new dual-port Ethernet Modbus TCP NIM
STBNIP2311 version 4.xx that supports RSTP for media redundancy for I/O architectures
and broadcast storm prevention.
The module editor provides:
 A “Redundancy” sub tab on STBNIP2311 module.
 A “Ports” tab on CANOpen NIM STBNCO2212 module. This tab displays in online
mode, the current values of two parameters: Node ID and Baud rate.
User dened label editor
This editor allows to create user dened labels (symbol names) for all I/O data
in the Modicon STB conguration, including external devices connected to the
CANopen bus.
User is able to do copy, cut and paste actions in the User dened label editor as well
as to import/export user dened labels in CVS format.
I/O image overview
This screen, accessible when the island is online, provides a table with data
concerning the:
 I/O modules making up the island: value, status, memory slot, etc.
 HMI terminal connected to the network interface module. The size of this area
is dened in the “Parameters” tab of the network interface module.
The I/O image can be displayed in two views:
 Fieldbus or network view: each protocol transfers its data in a specic format.
 Internal island bus view: the Modbus protocol is used here.
Each view has a table of inputs and a table of outputs.
