3.8 Interaction with the Engineering Tool
3.8.1 SICAM TOOLBOX II
For the engineering of SICAM CMIC serves the SICAM TOOLBOX II installed on the engi-
neering PC.
Before you start with the engineering, the predefined configuration parameters of the SICAM
TOOLBOX II must be checked and changed, if necessary (see section 4.1.1, Presets).
The system-technical and process-technical parameterization is performed with the tool
"OPM II". An application program can be created with the tool "CAEx plus" as function dia-
gram, or alternatively as instruction list with a text editor in ASCII format.
The setting of parameters is only possible independent from the target device (offline).
Firmwares for the system elements and application programs must be imported into the
SICAM TOOLBOX II.
Engineering data maintained with the SICAM TOOLBOX II is stored in a data base on the
harddisk of the engineering PC. By means of loading processes, the engineering data can be
transferred from the harddisk of the engineering PC to a target device. Thereto the target de-
vice must be connected with the engineering PC and switched on, and a SD card must be
equipped in the master control module of the target device.
The engineering data is stored during a load procedure on the SD card of the target device.
With startup of the target device, all new or changed data is transferred into the main memory.
