At first start up, the main application window of CX-ConfiguratorFDT opens
with a New Project and the Device Catalogue is opened automatically. The
Device Catalogue can also be opened from the menu.
The figure below shows the opened CX-ConfiguratorFDT main window for a

Figure 4.1: CX-ConfiguratorFDT main window
The main components in this window are:
• The Network view.
• The DTM / Catalogue view.
• The Error Log view.
• The FDT Monitoring view (not shown in the figure above).
• The Main menu.
• The Tool Bar and the Status Bar.
The Network view displays the structure of the PROFINET network in a tree
format. The tree has at least three levels:
• The Network Level
• The Master Level
• The Slave Level
The highest level of the tree is the project. The next level is the network
controller level. On this level one or more Controller or Master devices can be
allocated. For example PROFINET IO Controllers. The third level contains the
device DTM's. These can only be the devices that can connect to that
particular network master. In this case IO Device DTM's.
The PROFINET IO network must be assembled in the Network view, that is
the various DTMs are added to the network in the Network view. From the
Network view the individual DTM User Interfaces can be opened and
accessed.
