TDB Editor
The DMTouch has the facility to run the RDM Data Builder. This is a program that allows the user to design and run programs using both
the DMTouch internal I/O and I/O through network devices. Please refer to The Data Builder User Guide for full instructions on how to
use the Data Builder features.
Due to the flexibility of the TDB Editor and the complex control strategies it allows a user to create, RDM recommend that the developer
of the TDB application carry out functionality tests prior to installation to ensure the control strategy designed operates as expected e.g.
all inputs can be read, all outputs activate when operated by the TDB program and so forth.
Press the start, edit, delete or save keys to execute the
command.
Press the hyperlink “Upload PLC File” to bring in a previously
created TDB file.
Before a program can be started, a 6 character “Slave” name
must be entered for the TDB program. This name will be
assigned to the TDB program when it appears in the device list.
Additionally, the priority of the TDB program must be selected,
either; ‘Control’ or ‘Monitor’. When set to ‘monitor’, the
processing time for the plc is reduced. This will aid when
running large plc programs in, for example, older hardware
models of Data Managers.
With the full TDB option a maximum of 16 programs can be
running at any one time and each program can utilise up to
4096 blocks. If the maximum allowable number of blocks is
exceeded then the “Start” button for the program will be greyed
out until the number of blocks used is reduced below 4096.
When creating a TDB program anything placed onto the TDB
canvas would constitute a block, for example static text, a
setting block, a mathematical block, the interconnecting lines
between one block and another etc.
From the controller li
st, press on the box in the ‘Hide’ column to select
the device(s) you want to be hidden.
Any device which is hidden will not appear in the controller device list
and it will not be configurable via the Alarm Indexes page, Device
Parameter page and so forth. The device will still appear under the
Device Info page.
This feature is intended for use in conjunction with the Split Device
feature.
