Advantys STB
Distributed I/O Solution 1
Configuration Software
This tab, accessible when the island is online, provides a table with data concerning
the:
b Input/Output modules comprising the Advantys STB island (values and state of
each module).
b Operator Terminal connected to the network interface module. The length of this
field (defined in the “Properties” tab of the network interface module) equals the
maximum total size of the image table, less the words occupied by the image of the
I/O modules.
The total size of the I/O image table depends on the type of the network interface
module. These I/O images can be displayed in two views:
b Field bus or network view: each protocol transfers its data in a specific format.
b Internal island bus view: the Modbus protocol is used.
This tab allows the user to perform diagnostics for the island connected to the PC
terminal where the Advantys Configuration Software resides.
At any time during the configuration process, you can consult the following
information as a percentage:
b The power consumption at various voltages:
v c 5 V logic provided by the STB Np network interface module,
v c 24 V provided by the STB PDT 3100 power distribution module(s),
v c 115/230 V provided by the STB PDT 2100 power distribution module(s),
b The usage of the memory integrated in the network interface module:
v image field for inputs and outputs,
v settings field for the island configuration data and reflex functions,
v field dedicated to operator dialog.
The software enables bi-directional transfer of configuration data:
b From the PC to the RAM and Flash memory of the island interface module in order
to make the island operational. If the network interface module includes the
STB XMP 4440 32 KB removable memory card, data is written to the card, providing
a backup.
b From the NIM interface module to the PC.
When the island includes standard CANopen devices, you must use the software to
import the description of those devices contained in the EDS files into the catalog
database.
Inversely, those descriptions may be exported to the master in case of a CANopen,
INTERBUS or DeviceNet bus.
The Printing mode allows you to select the islands and topics to be printed. You can
also print to a file in PDF or RTF format.
