Adding an STB NIC 2212 Device
Original instructions
About us
Overview
You can use the Control Expert device library to add a remote device—in this example the STB NIC 2212 module—to your project. Only a remote device that is part of your Control Expert device library can be added to your project.
Alternatively, with a remote device already added to your device library, you can use automatic device discovery to populate your project. Perform automatic device discovery by using the Field bus discovery command with a communication module selected in the DTM Browser.
Adding an STB NIC 2212 Remote Device
NOTE: This example uses a device-specific DTM. If you do not have a device-specific DTM, Control Expert provides a generic device DTM.
Add the STB NIC 2212 to your project:
Step
Action
1
In the DTM Browser, right-click the DTM that corresponds to the Ethernet communication module.
2
Scroll to Add.
3
Select STBNIC2212 (from EDS):
NOTE: Click a column name to sort the list of available devices. (For example, click Device to view the items in the first column in alphabetical order.)
4
Click the Add DTM button to see the association between the Ethernet communication module and the STB NIC 2212 in the DTM Browser.
5
In the DTM Browser, right-click the STB NIC 2212 node that is associated with the Ethernet communication module DTM.
6
Scroll to Properties.
7
On the General tab, create a unique Alias name. (Using similar devices that use the same DTM can result in duplicate module names.) In this example, type in the name NIC2212_01:
Control Expert uses the Alias name as the base for both structure and variable names.
NOTE: The Alias name is the only editable parameter on this tab. The other parameters are read-only.
8
Click OK to add the STB NIC 2212 network interface module to the DTM Browser, beneath the communication module.
The next step is to configure the device you have just added to the project.
