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. » 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
