SPYDER MODEL 5 ENGINEERING TOOL – USER GUIDE
31-00282ES-01 6
INTRODUCTION
The Spyder Model 5 Engineering Tool provides the following functions:
• Setting up the IRM and CIPer Model 50 controllers for usage in a BACnet MSTP system architecture
• Creating BACnet devices offline and online
• Creating applications for IRM controllers
• Synchronizing applications between project and controllers
• Adjusting terminal layout deviations (hardware compatibility)
• Creating Master Sync groups
• Splitting applications
• Cloning applications
• Firmware download
• Alarming
• Printout
Basic Concepts
Engineering Modes
There are two kinds of engineering you can use for engineering an IRM project:
• Offline Engineering
In this mode, you create an empty BACnet device manually, add an application (optional) and match it afterwards to
a device discovered on the bus by using the service pin. This is normally applied when doing the engineering in the
office without having the hardware available but knowing the hardware specification of the devices to be used later
at the plant.
• Online Engineering
In this mode, you discover the devices on the BACnet network in the first step and use the devices instantly for
application engineering. This is recommended when doing the engineering directly at the plant with the devices
already installed on the BACnet bus.
Synchronization Status of Application
The current content of the applications engineered in the project and running in the connected IRM controller is
permanently monitored by the control manager (Online engineering only). Modifications can be any of the following:
• Control strategy icons (function blocks)
• Links between function blocks
• Notes
• Annotations
• Author
• Description
• Terminals
• Notification classes
• Etc.
Modifications can be detected in the controller, or in the project, or in both.
They can be synchronized by applying the following actions:
• Teach to controller
• Learn from controller
• Clear project (as required)
• Clear controller (as required)
Teaching and Learning
Synchronization of the application in the project and controller application can be performed in two ways:
• Teaching to Controller
Downloads the application in the project to the controller
• Learning from Controller
Uploads the application from the controller in the project
