• The Main menu.
• The Tool Bar and the Status Bar.
The Network view displays the structure of the PROFIBUS network in a tree
view format. The tree has at least three levels:
• The Project Level.
• The master level.
• The slave level.
The highest level of the tree is the project. The next level is the PROFIBUS
Master level. On this level one or more PROFIBUS Master devices can be
allocated. The third level contains the slave DTMs.
The PROFIBUS network must be assembled in the Network view, i.e. the var-
ious DTMs are added to the network via this window. From the Network view
the individual DTM User Interfaces can be opened, and accessed.
CX-Profibus supports context menu in the Network view, which are made vis-
ible when selecting a device DTM and right clicking the mouse. The contents
of the menu may depend on the functionality supported by the DTM.
The DTM / Device Catalogue window will hold the Device Catalogue as well
as every opened DTM User Interface. The window is an MDI type window, or
Multiple Document Interface. One or more user interface windows can be
opened, re-sized and moved inside this window.
The Error Log view at the bottom of the CX-Profibus application window dis-
plays the error messages reported by DTMs to CX-Profibus. A Time stamp, a
Date stamp and the DTM name are added to the message.
The contents of the window can be cleared, or copied to the clipboard, to
allow pasting it into another document.
The Error Log view is opened by default, when starting CX-Profibus.
The FDT Monitoring view at the bottom of the CX-Profibus application window
displays the FDT-DTM communication function calls between CX-Profibus
and the DTMs. A Time stamp, a Date stamp, the type of information and the
DTM name are added to the message.
The sequence of messages can be used to troubleshoot problems that may
occur when using third party DTMs in CX-Profibus.
The contents of the window can be cleared, or copied to the clipboard, to
allow pasting it into another document.
The FDT Monitoring view is not opened by default, when starting CX-Profibus.
It can be opened through the View - FDT Monitoring menu option.
The main menu of CX-Profibus, provides all the necessary functionality to
handle a complete project. The table below lists the main menu and their sub
menu items.
