The main components in this window are:
• The Network view
• The DTM / Catalogue view
• The Error Log view (not shown in the figure above)
• The FDT Monitoring view (not shown in the figure above)
• The Main menu (not shown in the figure above)
• The Tool Bar and the Status Bar
 Network View
The Network view displays the structure of the PROFIBUS network in a tree view format. The tree
has at least three levels:
• The project level
• The master level
• The slave level
The highest level of the tree is the project. The next level is the PROFIBUS Master level. On this
level one or more PROFIBUS Master devices can be allocated. The third level contains the slave
DTMs.
The PROFIBUS network must be assembled in the Network view, i.e. the various DTMs are added
to the network via this window. From the Network view the individual DTM User Interfaces can be
opened, and accessed.
CX-ConfiguratorFDT supports context menu in the Network view, which are made visible when
selecting a device DTM and right clicking the mouse. The contents of the menu may depend on the
functionality supported by the DTM.
 DTM/Device Catalogue Window
The DTM / Device Catalogue window will hold the Device Catalogue as well as every opened DTM
User Interface. The window is an MDI type window, or Multiple Document Interface. One or more
user interface windows can be opened, re-sized and moved inside this window.
 Error Log View
The Error Log view at the bottom of the CX-ConfiguratorFDT application window displays the error
messages reported by DTMs to CX-ConfiguratorFDT. A Time stamp, a Date stamp and the DTM
name are added to the message.
The contents of the window can be cleared, or copied to the clipboard, to allow pasting it into
another document.
The Error Log view is opened by default, when starting CX-ConfiguratorFDT.
 FDT Monitoring View
The FDT Monitoring view at the bottom of the CX-ConfiguratorFDT application window displays the
FDT-DTM communication function calls between CX-ConfiguratorFDT and the DTMs. A Time
stamp, a Date stamp, the type of information and the DTM name are added to the message.
The sequence of messages can be used to troubleshoot problems that may occur when using third
party DTMs in CX-ConfiguratorFDT.
The contents of the window can be cleared, or copied to the clipboard, to allow pasting it into
another document.
The FDT Monitoring view is not opened by default, when starting CX-ConfiguratorFDT. It can be
opened through the View - FDT Monitoring menu option.
