1,2,3... 1 Open the Device Catalogue: Either select the View - Device Catalogue
menu option, or press the Device Catalogue button in the Tool Bar. The
opened Device Catalogue is shown below
DTM categories
2 Check the list of available DTMs, and verify that all the devices that need to
be added to the Network - both IO Controllers and IO Devices - are among
the DTMs in the list.
3 If one or more of the DTMs is missing, these DTMs must first be installed
and the Device Catalogue updated.
1 Non-GSDML file based DTMs are usually provided with their own
setup program. Installation of these DTMs must be performed out-
side CX-ConfiguratorFDT, e.g. from Windows Explorer.
2 In case of DTM installations outside CX-ConfiguratorFDT, always ini-
tiate an update of the Device Catalogue, before assembling a net-
work. Without this update the newly installed DTM will not appear in
the list of devices. To Update the Device Catalogue, press the
Update button in the Device Catalogue main window.
3 An Update must also be performed when an already existing DTM is
upgraded. Without the update, the old version number will still be
shown in the list. Failure to update the Device Catalogue in this case
may also result in undesired behaviour, when adding these DTMs to
the Network.
GSDML files can be installed from within the Device Catalogue main window.
To do so, follow the procedure below.
