Note Uploading may take some time, due to the amount of parameters.
Pressing the Download button will initiate a download of all SmartSlice I/O
Information, i.e. I/O Configuration, Unit types and Unit parameters.
Pressing the Compare button will initiate a comparison between the I/O
Configuration and parameters of all SmartSlice I/O Units and the data stored
within the DTM. In case a mismatch is found, a warning screen will pop up to
notify the user.
Pressing the Reset button will initiate a system reset, i.e. the GRT1-PNT as
well as the attached SmartSlice I/O Units will be reset. A Reset will also force
the connected SmartSlice I/O Units to restore their settings from their non
volatile storage. In some cases a reset is a necessity to force the SmartSlice
IO Units to use newly written parameters.
Note If changes have been made via the SmartSlice I/O Unit's parameter windows, which
require a system reset, the user is notified of this through a pop notification window.
In case third-party IO Controller Units are used, of which the Configuration
software does not support FDT/DTM technology, the GRT1-PNT GSD File can
be used to configure that IO Controller.
Note 1 Using the GSD File allows for I/O Configuration and I/O data exchange with the IO
Controller Unit. It does not provide easy access to other Unit parameters.
2 PROFINET IO Controller Units can also be configured using the GSD File, although
the DTM is available and has many more features.
The figure below shows the Generic IO Device DTM, used in CX-
ConfiguratorFDT to handle GSD Files.
To define the I/O configuration, perform the following steps.
