Functions (continued)
Export user dened labels (“tags”)
The Advantys software allows you to create tags (symbol names) for all objects and
I/O parameters of the Modicon STB conguration, including external devices
connected to the CANopen bus.
The “File/export” function exports these names at the same time as the mapping,
regardless of the eldbus or network used. This information can be used directly on
all controllers. This eliminates the need to declare I/O objects again and promotes
consistency in the naming of machinery or equipment. User dened labels can be
exported in CSV format.
Import/export island mapping les
This function allows you to carry out mapping and export it in the format of any PLC
programming software, regardless of the eldbus or network.
Bill of Materials
The Bill of Materials (or.BOM) provides the hardware description for the selected
island, including the mandatory and optional components.
The BOM can be printed or exported in CVS format.
The BOM can be customized to suit the user's preferences:
 Calculation algorithm based on the kits or individual components.
 Information about the modules.
 Type of connector: screw-type or spring-type. The default value is “screw”.
 Length of the island bus extension cables.
Print design report
This function allows you to select topics to be sent to a printer or to a PDF or editable
RTF le.
The following items can be selected:
 Graphic image of the island (see example above).
 All or part of the island information:
 List of mandatory components, including accessories, such as bases,
connectors, etc.
 List of optional components, such as labels, keying pins, memory cards, etc.
 Information about the workspace
 Information about the island
 Image of the island
 List of components
 Fieldbus I/O image
 Modbus I/O image
 Reex actions
 Resource usage
 Resource power supply details
 Resource conguration details
 Module details
 Notes
Test mode
There are two test modes:
 PLC ofine test: Bus or network communication is disconnected.
The outputs can be controlled directly from the Advantys application connected via
the Modbus port on the network interface module.
 Online test: Bus or network communication is operational. The outputs can be
forced directly from the Advantys application. This mode can be accessed by
entering a congurable password.
These test modes allow you to import the island conguration and read the error
messages and I/O states.
