Project Setup
A diagnostics project can be set up in either of the following ways:
•
Manual setup: Enables you to build the diagnostic topology before the diagnostic bus is
installed or if the diagnostic bus is currently inactive. See chapter 5.4.3
•
Scanning: Enables you to import the topology from a diagnostic bus that is already
installed and active. See chapter 5.4.6
•
Import from a file: see chapter 5.4.7. The "Import from file" option is typically used for the
ADM integration package available for the major process control systems. See "Applica-
tion Notes for the ADM Integration Packages" for details.
•
Import from FDS: Reads back the project currently set at the FDS server. See chapter
5.4.8
5.4.1
Tags Used in ADM Projects
An advanced diagnostic module (ADM) system uses tags for the diagnostic gateways, the
ADMs, and the segments. Note that tags may only contain the following characters: 0 ... 9,
a...z, A...Z, or the following special characters: $ ( ) - _. Other characters or blank spaces are
not allowed. Tags of the same level must be unique, i.e., any 2 FDS ports or 2 diagnostic
devices beneath the same FDS port must not be tagged identically.
5.4.2
Communication with the Diagnostic Gateway
In order to communicate with the diagnostic gateways (DGW), an IP address must be assigned
to the device. The IP address can be set in either of the following ways:
•
Set the IP address using DHCP (default setting)
•
Set the IP address to a fixed IP address
In addition to the IP address, a tag can be assigned to each diagnostic gateway. Setting a tag
allows a simple identification of the diagnostic gateway while creating a diagnostic project. The
IP address setting and the tag can be modified using the diagnostic gateway configuration tool.
For more information on the diagnostic gateway configuration tool, . It also supports communi-
cation to the diagnostic gateway if the web server cannot be used because of wrong IP address
settings.
The next chapters introduce options to scan for available diagnostic gateways in several situa-
tions. As long as the FDS is located in the same subnet as the diagnostic gateways, the gate-
ways are detected automatically. If the diagnostic gateways are in a different IP subnet, the
address of at least one diagnostic gateway in the other subnet must be entered manually. After
that, all other diagnostic gateways in the remote subnet can also be scanned.
