Project Configurator
The project configurator is
D
an editing program which can be called via the WinSPS utility program
D
the tool that provides the link between project and network.
The prerequisite for calling the project configurator is a CL550 controller.
.
Prior to project configuration, the entire concept of the desired system
should be ready.
With the project configurator
D
networked systems will be defined and processed
D
several controllers that can communicate among each other will be put
together in a group
D
a configuration file will be created.
The controllers contain
D
mounting racks that consist of ZS550 control units and that can be sup-
plemented with COM-MAPs, system modules that are capable of TCP/IP
communication.
For processing within the project configurator, a tree structure, i.e. an image
of the system in form of a ”controller tree”, results from this hierarchic or-
ganization.

.
Descriptions of the COM-MAP module are not part of this manual. For
further information, please refer to the manual of the COM-MAP mo-
dule.
In order to assign the different controllers and system modules unambigu-
ously, the project configurator makes it possible to
D
assign and control IP addresses
D
to set the individual Ethernet parameters for subnetwork mask definition.
The project configurator allows
D
safety measures via password assignment which makes safe access to
the system and its components possible
D
working with a fitting directory structure on the harddisk (via the tree
structure), which serves as a basis for the administration of the PLC pro-
grams via WinSPS.
