1.2 AS System File for PROGRAF AS+
Your commisioning diskette contains a directory PROGRAF after extracting. This contains
the system file AS.SYS required for PROGRAF AS+.
Copy the file AS.SYS into your PROGRAF PC into the directory
drv:\PROGRAF\USER\
The system file of the AS 488/TM automation system is then known to PROGRAF AS+.
Carry out your PROGRAF AS configuring in the usual manner.
Note:
From PROGRAF AS+ V3.00 onwards, the AS commands FORM, LA, AR, DI and DEL are
also allowed for online structuring.
After "LA,name;" PROGRAF AS+ terminates the coupling to AS 488/TM (message "BUS
STRUCTURING ABORTED"). The coupling must be re-established after the loading and
reset procedure is complete (new ANMS).
Caution:
Under no circumstances should PROGRAF AS+ be stopped while the AS is
being reset, as this causes the bus structuring in the AS to remain active.
If it should happen nonetheless, the user of PROGRAF AS+ should logon on
the
same
AS.
1.3 Master Type File for COM ET200 / COM PROFIBUS
In the DOKU folder on the IBS tool diskette, there are two files for the ET200 configuration
tool COM ET200 or COM PROFIBUS.
The master type-file ‘SI8050AX.2MH’ must be copied to the MASTERS directory of the
installed COM PROFIBUS. Its contents specify the AS 488/TM as the host system and the
module card IF964 as the DP master. The bitmap file ‘AS488TM.BMP’ must be copied into
the BITMAPS directory. Once COM PROFIBUS is started, the ‘Read in type files’ menu
item or the ‘Read in GSD files’ menu item from within the ‘file’ menu need be activated
only once (see also DP_PRO_D.doc).
Note:
In the case of COM PROFIBUS, these files are already supplied from V3.1
onwards.
