Setting up a network in CX-ConfiguratorFDT involves adding and configuring
single device DTMs. The device DTMs as listed in the Device Catalogue can
be added to the network in three ways:
1 Using the context menu
A context menu will pop up when selecting the CJ1W-PNT21 PROFINET
IO Controller DTM and then right clicking the mouse. By selecting the
menu option Add Device, a simplified Device Catalogue is displayed
showing only the DTMs which are allowed to be added to the PROFINET
IO Controller DTM.
2 Using the Drag & Drop function
A Device DTM listed in the standard Device Catalogue window can be
dragged and dropped from the Device Catalogue to a desired position in
the Network view.
3 Using the Add Device button
A device DTM selected in the Device Catalogue can be added to a
selected Master DTM in the Network view by clicking the Add Device
button in the Device Catalogue window.
A project file, containing various DTMs, can both be saved to and opened from
hard disk. To save a project file select the File - Save or File - Save As...
menu option. This will display the standard Windows File selection window,
allowing the user to enter a file name.
The Project File is saved with the extension *.CPR.
Saving the data is initiated from CX-ConfiguratorFDT, but every DTM must
support the save function as well. The settings of each DTM is saved in the
Project file.
A Project file can be opened by choosing the File - Open menu option. This
will open the standard Windows File selection window, after which the Project
file can be selected and opened.
When opening a Project file, the network tree view is automatically constructed. How-
ever, for performance reasons, the DTMs are not directly instantiated to speed up the
construction of the tree.
A Project File can also be opened from Windows Explorer. Double-clicking a
file with extension *.CPR will invoke CX-ConfiguratorFDT and open the
selected file.
CX-ConfiguratorFDT provides automatic generation of project documentation
upon command of the user. The documentation is generated in HTML format,
and can cover either single DTMs or the whole project. After generation of the
HTML document, it will automatically launch the default Internet browser, to
display the result.
To export the project information to HTML either:
• Select the File - Export Project as HTML option from the main menu, or
• Select the Export to HTML option from the context menu
First select the project level in the Network view, and then right click the
mouse to display the context menu.
In both cases a window will pop up displaying the progress of the export
process.
