The gateway checks the project configuration against the target
configuration after each restart. SWD-Assist lets you define individual SWD
slaves in the project configuration as being “non-mandatory” (which means
that these slaves are allowed to be missing in the target configuration).
Thus project configuration and target configuration must not necessarily
comply with each other, but must be compatible. The result of this checking
is indicated by the
Config LED
on the gateway (for the position of the
Config LED, see
Positions of the LEDs
section on page 28).
In order to acquaint the gateway with the POWERLINK Managing Node
within its POWERLINK configuration, you have to generate an XDD device
description file out of the project configuration in SWD-Assist, and then and
export it. This file contains the projected/planned configuration of the
gateway in a standardized description format, which complies with general
POWERLINK specifications. The XDD file then has to be imported into your
POWERLINK engineering tool (e. g.
Automation Studio
by B & R).
Afterwards, you can add the gateway in the engineering tool to an already
existing POWERLINK project as Controlled Node and perform a data
mapping for the contained I/O modules (i. e. the SmartWire-DT slaves).
Finally, you can load the project onto your POWERLINK Managing Node.
