Cannot see the PDO's for FTM analog modules in the IO image Overview
Issue
Cannot see the PDO's for 'FTM' analog modules in the IO image Overview
Product Line
Advantys Configuration Software version 4.0
Environment
Windows 7
Resolution
The analog I/O data for the analog input and output modules (i.e., FTM 1A...) do not appear in
the TxPDO and RxPDO tables of the 'IO Image Overview'.
The reason why it t does not appear in the 'IO Image Overview' is because, when a configuration is
built, the Advantys Configuration Software only maps the digital I/O module data that the exec fimrware
of the 'FTM Network Interface Module' allows. Due to limitations, the exec firmware does allow not
the mapping of the analog I/O module data.
To workaround this, the user must define the mapping for the analog I/O module data using the following
steps:
- Unlock the island.
- Open the I/O Image Overview.
- Right click and select "Insert Mapping..
- Check off the items that you want to be mapped into the TxPDO or RxPDO tables.
- Click 'OK' to close the 'Select...' window.
The following screen capture shows the mapped table.
