Description

A &ldquo,user-frendly&rdquo, guided programming tool based on the use of icons or guided configuration menus. Especially suitable for developers who prefer a visual programming style. GF_Project is composed of integrated software modules with specific functions that provide easy and intuitive configuration of automation projects. ยป Hardware configuration Module The Hw configuration module is dedicated to the definition of project hardware architecture, and lets you: &bull, Define the system architecture and the configuration of individual devices used in the automation project, exploiting an intuitive and guided configuration environment &bull, Define and parameterise the devices in the Gefran product catalogue and describe their interconnection in an automation architecture &bull, Configure a single device or a network of devices &bull, Share variables among interconnected devices &bull, Integrate third-party CANopen devices by importing the EDS descriptive file &bull, Integrate devices with third-party Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU protocol &bull, Configure data sharing with higher level systems (Scada) by exploiting a Modbus TCP/RTU connection The Gefran product lines configurable with GF_Net (selection at network configuration level depends on availability of Fieldbus connection to the network) are: Remote I/O
GF_Project consists of:
  • Hardware Configurator software for configuration of devices used to control machine/plant
  • Control logic (PLC) Software component for configuration of machine/plant control logic
  • User interface (HMI) Software component for configuration of graphics pages for the user interface
