Teaching Modes
Any modifications in either the project or the controller can be synchronized in one of the following modes:
•
on-demand will be performed explicitly as desired by the user
•
immediate occurs instantly when the change is done
Clearing Controller / Project
The application in the project and in the controller, can be cleared independently.
IRM Program
The IRM program includes the control manager, the control strategy (periodic and event programs), the hardware
configuration (on board I/O) and the alarming.
Control Manager
The control manager takes care of the major control functions and displays the current status of the IRM program
accordingly. The following information is provided:
•
Author of the application
•
Description
•
Application type
•
Function block family, version, and numbers
•
Number of folders and links
•
Memory usage
•
Hardware features and compatibility
•
Controller connection type
•
Engineering units (measurement) type
•
Drop of BACnet point settings
•
Communication status
•
Synchronization status
•
Last program change and commissioning dates
Periodic program
Includes the control strategy running in a cyclic manner on a fixed time base
Event program
Includes event-driven control strategy triggered by particular IO changes
On board I/O
Shows the hardware I/Os of the controller
Alarms
Provides the notification classes for establishing alarming
Hardware Compatibility Check
The hardware configurations of the used physical controller and the hardware defined for the controller in the
application can be checked. Any differences are indicated graphically on the terminals on the wire sheet.
Taking / Restoring Snapshot
The current status of an application can be backed up and restored later. This allows restoring a changed application if
these changes should be discarded.
Swapping IRM Program
Swapping saves RAM space and reduces processor load and bus traffic. The current state of a swapped device is frozen
and saved to an IRM repository on the disk. Then, synchronization is no more possible. In order to synchronize swapped-
out devices, the devices must be swapped in again. Swapping can be applied to a single or to all devices per step.
