Device Management PROFIBUS & HART
254 3BDS011222-510 B
Instance data can be verified and exported with the Fieldbus Management in
Communication disabled mode, but loading is only possible in Communication
enabled mode. To load fieldbus lines, select the line through the context menu of
the Fieldbus Management and then click on Download selection to start.
Verify.
Selecting the verify option in the Fieldbus Management menu compares the online
device data with the offline configuration data set stored in System 800xA. If the
data set is equal, the result is true, else it is false.
Download and Upload.
When several devices are selected, the Fieldbus Builder PROFIBUS/HART starts a
batch process for up- or download, which is processed sequentially. Execution of the
batch process continues even if errors occur for individual DTMs. Each event
(faulty/successful execution) is documented in the Fieldbus Management status
window. If an error occurs, an error message is displayed after the end of the batch
process to indicate that the batch process is faulty.
Export and Import.
The export file of an instance data record is saved with a time stamp in a folder
which is specific to the Device Object. This makes it possible to build up a device
configuration history. Exported device data set can be imported again by selecting
the specific export file. The export and import process is carried out manually by the
user.
Starting the Device Type Manager (DTM).
In addition to the Fieldbus Management aspect, field device objects for PROFIBUS
and HART provide a Device Management aspect. The Device Management aspect
opens the associated DTM (Device Definition) in the preview window or opens a
new window with the device instance data record.
If the verification result is false, an up- or download is recommended for data
synchronization.
Loading errors can arise if this function is not supported by the DTM, e.g. S800
modules, or if the DTM cannot establish a connection to the device.
