DTM view Layout
The Device Catalogue is one of the main components in CX-Profibus. Its
main functions are
• to maintain a list of installed DTM and GSD files.
• to provide convenient sorting and categorizing of the list.
• to allow updating the list, after installation of new DTMs or GSD files.
• to provide detailed information on selected DTMs
The main layout of the Device Catalogue is shown below.
DTM categories
The Device Catalogue window is opened by either selecting the
the CX-Profibus toolbar or by selecting the View - Device Catalogue menu
option. Both options have toggle function: selecting one of them again will
close the Device Catalogue.
The left view allows selection of specific groups of DTMs to be displayed. The
right view lists the DTMs, which are installed on the PC and which are avail-
able for setting up a network. A selection of DTMs is made by selecting a spe-
cific group in the left view.
Note The list makes no distinction between normal DTMs and GSD files which
have been loaded through the Generic Slave Device DTM.
