Introduction |
The Device Manager is the entry panel of the Framework. Most of the Framework functionality is available navigating from it. The user can navigate in two modes, Configuration and Operation. The Configuration mode is meant to create/remove and configure the required devices inside WinCC. Once they are configured, then the user can switch to Operation mode to do basic operations to setup device specific parameters. |

Instructions | The panel is organized in three tabs (Hardware, Logical, FSM) reflecting the steps necessary to configure the necessary for your application. Each tab has two different working modes: Configuration and Operation. 1. Hardware View (Figure 1): The first step when creating your
application is to instantiate and set up the representation
of the devices you are using (e.g. high voltage crates, temperature
sensors, etc) inside WinCC. This is done in the Hardware View. In this view the
devices are organized in vendor nodes (e.g. CAEN,
Wiener). The following actions are available when right clicking
in the tree in Configuration mode (for more details go to the help of the
specific panel):
At the system level node the
following options are available:
2. Logical View (Figure 2):
After the hardware representation
has been created, one can move to the organization of devices in
logical units. This is done in the Logical and FSM tabs. In the
Logical View one can group devices at a low level to build units that
will be used afterwards in the FSM hierarchy. The following
actions are available when right clicking in the tree in
Configuration mode (for more details go to the help of the specific panel):
some of these actions might be
disabled depending on the type of the selected device. At the system
level node the
following options are available:
Here is where you can add
behaviour to the devices in the Hardware and Logical Views. For more
details on how to use the FSM View, you can have a look at the home page of the
fwFSM component fwFSM.
