a progress bar that shows the progress graphically. Hover the mouse pointer over
the progress bar to display a tooltip providing additional information on the active
background process. You can cancel the background processes by clicking the but -
ton next to the progress bar. If no background processes are currently running, the
status bar displays the last generated alarm.
13. Table Area of the Hardware and network editor: it offers a general overview of the
characteristics of the Device (when Device view is selected), of the Network (when
Network view is selected) and of the Topology (when Topology view is selected).
14. Task Cards: depending on the edited or selected object, task cards are available,
they allow you to perform additional actions. These actions include:
• selecting objects from a library or from the hardware catalog
• searching for and replacing objects in the project
• dragging predefined objects to the work area
The task cards available can be found in a bar on the right-hand side of the screen.
You can collapse and reopen them at any time. Which task cards are available
depends on the products installed. More complex task cards are divided into
panes that you can also collapse and reopen.
The Hardware catalog can be selected in the Task Cards; it allows to install the
available components just dragging and dropping them onto the Work Area. Cus -
tomarily the field devices that have been integrated into the TIA Portal via GSDML
files are listed under Other field devices > Profinet IO.
Device view
Press the Device view changeover switch in the Hardware and network editor to enter
the Device view.
The configuration of devices and assigning of addresses etc. is performed in the Device
view. All devices are represented in a photo-realistic way.
• Buffering of configured hardware modules and reuse with module clipboard
• When zoomed to at least 200%, I/Os are displayed with the symbolic names /
addresses
• Automatic readout of available hardware with hardware detect
• Full text search in the Hardware catalogue
• Option of filtering the Hardware catalogue to show modules that can currently be
used
• All parameters and configuration data are displayed on a hierarchical and context-
sensitive basis
Network view
Press the Network view changeover switch in the Hardware and network editor to enter
the Network view.
The Network view enables the configuration of plant communication. The communica
-
tion links between individual stations are displayed here graphically and very clearly.
• Combined view of all network resources and network components
• Fully graphical configuration of the individual stations
• Resources are networked by linking communication interfaces using drag & drop
• Multiple controllers, peripherals, HMI devices, SCADA stations, PC stations and
drives possible in a single project
• Procedure for integrating AS-i devices identical to PROFIBUS/PROFINET
