3.12 XN300-Assist
XN300-Assist is a planning, ordering, and commissioning program that can
be used to make it easier to configure SDOs. In addition, XN300-Assist
makes it possible to configure XN300 slice module parameters with pro-
cessed cleartext. This configuration can be saved as an INI file and then
imported into XSOFT-CODESYS-2 or XSOFT-CODESYS-3. As a result, only
system-relevant SDOs, such as the enable signal for analog value transmis-
sion, still need to be configured directly in CODESYS.
XN300-Assist includes the following functions:
• Selecting modules, as well as a gateway
• Reading device parameters for the gateway and the system bus' mod-
ules
• Generating a project-specific EDS file
• Generating a project-specific INI file for XSOFT-CODESYS-2 or XSOFT-
CODESYS-3
• Status indication of the inputs/outputs
• Wiring test
• Firmware Update
• Importing actual configurations
• Display of cyclical and acyclical diagnostics messages
The Online Help function provides a detailed description of how to use
XN300-Assist. In order to open it, click on the "?" icon on the XN300-Assist
menu bar or press the <F1> key.
