This chapter contains an overview of the new features in
COM ET 200 Windows and the IM 308-C.
This table lists the major new features of COM ET 200 Windows.
This version of COM ET 200 Windows offers a choice between QVZ
(time-out) and PEU (powerfail in expansion unit) as the error-reporting
mode. The advantage of PEU is that when the error is cleared, the S5-135U
and S5-155U programmable controllers automatically restart via OB 22.
COM ET 200 Windows allows you to switch response monitoring and the
error-reporting mode QVZ (time-out) or PEU (powerfail in expansion unit)
on or off individually for each DP slave.
With COM ET 200 Windows, you can reserve address areas for subsequent
use in addressing the host I/O.
COM ET 200 Windows functionality permits you read access to DP slaves
from a DP master even if the slaves in question are assigned to a different
DP master.
With COM ET 200 Windows, you can now configure multiple DP masters in
a single program file. This ensures that no S5 addresses are assigned twice
and that COM ET 200 Windows can calculate the optimum response
monitoring time.
The COM ET 200 Windows software, which you require to parameterize the
ET 200 configuration, runs under the MS-Windows graphical user interface.
This GUI makes parameterization considerably quicker and easier.
Context-sensitive help can be called at any time by clicking on a help
button. This online support makes COM ET 200 Windows easier to use.
COM ET 200 Windows supports extended system-documentation functions,
including:
Bus-parameter listing
Overview of stations and host/master systems
List of group memberships
List of all type files in COM ET 200
