Purpose of Advantys DTM
Advantys DTM was developed for the configuration of OTB islands on CANopen protocol, working as a proxy solution.
Advantys DTM provides a device technology on the basis of the FDT technology, operates in a FDT Frame application and supplies information to the FDT Frame
Application.
Proxy Solution
The Advantys DTM island window itself does not provide the functions to create or modify your configuration. To create or modify your configuration Advantys DTM activates the Advantys Configuration Software.
Initializing the Advantys DTM
Start Advantys DTM from a FDT Frame Application as follows:
Step
1
2
3
4
5
Action
Make sure that the Advantys DTM is installed successfully.
Open the device type catalog in the FDT Frame Application. Update the device type catalog if required. A new device type Advantys DTM should be available in the catalog.
Select a Communication DTM for CANopen and add it to the network view.
Select the Advantys DTM and connect it to the CANopen Communication DTM .
For any kind of configuration tasks, double click the Advantys DTM icon in the network view.
NOTE: If you are using the Advantys DTM with SoMachine as the FDT frame, please consult the SoMachine DTM Programming Guide .
Having started Advantys DTM, the island window opens.

Creating and Modifying Island Configurations
Limitations
In most FDT Frame Applications it is possible to maintain the configuration of several OTB islands in parallel by opening the appropriate DTM instances for each
OTB island.
When you work in parallel with several open DTMs on several island files it might happen that you confuse one island configuration with another one.
WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION z z z z
Provide meaningful names for the OTB DTM instances.
Be sure you are making modifications to the correct island.
Consult the name of the OTB DTM instance which is displayed in the caption of the Advantys Configuration Software.
Perform operational tests of your system and any configuration changes that you have made before commissioning the device.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
To create or modify an OTB configuration, start the Advantys Configuration Software by clicking on the launch button in the Advantys DTM island window.
As the Advantys Configuration Software is running as client software of the
Advantys DTM, you can only create or modify islands that are specified by the

Functional Description
Providing Labels to FDT Frame Applications
After naming data objects using the Advantys Configuration Software, i.e. after adding user defined labels to objects, the DTM for OTB on CANopen provides these symbolic variable names to FDT Frame Applications.
It depends on the respective FDT Frame Application, whether these symbolic variable names (labels) are used or not.
For example with SoMachine, the labels are displayed in the Channel column of the
OTB´s CANopen I/O Mapping tab and can be used in SoMachine.
