Page 8: Object Model
The ActiveX fits seamlessly into the Frame Application. The user is not able to determine where the called HMI came from. It appears as a natu- ral part of the engineering system. ifak system GmbH... - Page 9 CommDTM or by the Frame Application. DeviceDTM and CommDTM differ mainly in the type of chan- nels a DTM supports. A Channel represents either a communica- tion (CommChannel) or data channel (DataChannel). A ifak system GmbH...
- Page 10 If a DeviceDTM is called and attached to a certain device, this DeviceDTM instance is associated with a CommChannel. The device can establish a connection to the device through this Com- mChannel. Contrary to today’s practice the DeviceDTM can expect an interface with a manufacturer independent behaviour. ifak system GmbH...

The run-time environment (the frame application) was started already. In the next step we add a CommDTM to the system topology of the frame application. The frame is now able to inquire the CommDTM about the supported CommChannels. ifak system GmbH... - Page 12 The communication between both components is now estab- lished. If the DeviceDTM invokes a communication request via IFdt- Communication the channel is responsible for the handling of the request. The response of the device is transmitted to the DTM through its IFdtCommunicationEvents interface. ifak system GmbH...

Pro DP/PA Link DTM Configuration in Online Mode Configuration in Online Mode The FDT specification defines the function ) for ScanRequest( CommDTMs. This function makes it possible to receive a list of devices that are connected to the bus (also called "live list"). - Page 18 Gateway DTM is Pro DP/PA Link DTM is Pro DP/PA Link DTM Figure 6: Device List (online) An ActiveX with additional information about a device can be opened by selecting the button "Extended Information..." for a chosen slave device. The button "Change Address..." opens another ActiveX for changing the address of the Profibus device.

Pro DP/PA Link DTM Configuration in Online Mode Slave Information The information in this ActiveX are obtained from the diagnosis data of the selected Profibus slave device. Their meaning is explained in the Profibus literature. The device and vendor names are extracted from tables that con- tain such information for a number of devices identified by the identification number (Ident). -
Page 20: Change Slave Address
Gateway DTM is Pro DP/PA Link DTM is Pro DP/PA Link DTM Change Slave Address This ActiveX offers an interface to change the address of a Profi- bus slave device. The current address is set automatically when the ActiveX is opened. The new address is not allowed to be in use at the same Profibus segment.
