Design symbols [Symbol Editor/ External program]
Design the project
Create templates (Global area)
Create areas and diagrams
Create objects and place them on diagrams
Create predefined graphs
Install and test the configuration [Chelm / Supervise]
Design the reports
Commission the project [Supervise]
System Configuration module Module used to: Create a new IGSS project Set up the individual IGSS stations Set up and configure PLC drivers Configure SQL servers, etc.

Give it a name Give it a (storage) location
Create all IGSS stations on one PC
All IGSS station types can be created centrally on one PC usually the PC to be used as the IGSS server. Notice the number of tabs visible to the right. On these, the global parameters for the system are selected.
Notice the green screen next to the station name, IGSS Server, which indicates the station type to be used on this PC.
Operator station tabs
Notice the green screen next to the station name, OP_1, which indicates the station type to be used on this PC. Notice the different tabs now visible compared to the server on the previous slide. The IP address of the IGSS server must always be filled in on an operator station.
Messages to operator station
On operator station, clicking the starter brings up the dialog box on the left.
If the IGSS configuration or application on the server is different from the one on the operator station (also if its the first time the operator station is started) the dialog box on the left appears. (Notice the IP address at the top.)
Drivers and interfaces
Many different drivers (80+) 7T develops optimized drivers for IGSS OPC fully supported by client-side driver

Drivers
Driver Interface Node Subnode
Select Communication Driver dialog box shows all available drivers Specifications of available drivers for IGSS (see PLC Drivers Available on www.7t.dk) IGSS provides an OPC Client to connect to OPC Server software
Interfaces
Driver Interface Node Subnode
The interface can be:
a serial connection (COM port, modem or radio link connection) an interface card (proprietary or standard network card)
Nodes (PLCs)
Driver
Interface Node Subnode
Unique node number is selected (IGSS node = PLC number) Certain PLC types support subnodes (The gateway PLC becomes a manager node) In Definition: Drivers and node numbers appear on the Edit Mapping tab of an object.
Subnodes
Driver
Interface
Node Subnode
IGSS only communicates with the manager node, not with the subnode
Manager node routes the messages to the subnode
Manager node must have mailbox enabled, which is configured on the Advanced tab.
Suspend function (offline)
Right-click the driver, interface or node in the tree view to select the Suspend function
Suspend interface
Suspend driver
Suspend node
Suspending nodes online
Look for detailed information in the System Configuration help file
Change set point to 1 to suspend node.
Communication monitoring
Communication objects
Driver object Monitors the communication at driver level
Node status object Monitors the communication at node level Remote connection status object Monitors a remote connection Dialup object Manually connect to, fetch historical data and disconnect from remote connection Dialsuspend object Dialup object plus suspend and resume remote connection Online suspend node object Used to suspend a node during supervision
Driver status Right-click the Starter bar, choose Detailed status in the drop-down menu to view the status of the configurations PLC drivers.
Driver test and troubleshooting
T7T in the Utilities folder
T7T Driver Test program Monitors the communication between IGSS and the driver(s). Data can be viewed or data can be sent to the PLC (Send Packet). Data can be filtered by driver ID, node, data group, word, etc.
Log file Scan file with all data packets going between IGSS and the driver can be written. The log file T7T.scn - will use the filter applied. The configuration scan file <MyConfig>.scn cannot be filtered.
Quick instructor demo
Please look and listen while the instructor quickly goes through the creation procedure in System Configuration.
Do Exercise 2 in the Exercises booklet after the instructor demo
