Main enhancements to the X-TEL V6 software workshop in relation to X-TEL V5•
• Operation under operating systems :
OS/2 version 2.1, 2.11,WARP 3.0 red and blue, and WARP Connect.
• Acceptance of PL7-Junior on the new TSX Micro and TSX Premium stations :
In the same way as with TSXV4 and TSXV5 stations it is possible to create new TSX
Micro and TSX Premium stations by launching the PL7-Junior programming software from this new range of PLCs.
• Modified user interface for the whole XTEL software workshop :
The X-TEL : User window is launched from a new X-TEL User icon in the Telemecanique folder. It is essentially for managing users and for launching the KEY MANAGER tool for managing the software access keys.
The X-TEL icon launches a new window, X-TEL : Software Workshop, which is identical to the other windows for managing projects or stations, directly at volume level.
A new Conversion icon for MINI X-TEL archives is used to convert MINI X-TEL archives into X-TEL projects.

• Learn and compare architecture and station functions
With the V6 software workshop, the user can now download to his terminal the entire architecture of a site, level V5 applications or simply the V5 application from a local station or one which is remotely connected on the network. This learning process can take place without first having to declare the project or the stations on the programming terminal. In the same way, the architectures or applications can be compared with a version on the terminal.
• Archiving and version management
With the V6 software workshop, the user can save or restore a station or a project tool to/from an archive space which is separate from the other X-TEL workspaces. This function is designed to facilitate saving and version management within the context of control system project developments.

• Customizing the work environment
In the V52 and earlier versions of the XTEL software workshop, the programming terminal was customized using context and fast access windows. From XTEL V6 a personal folder can be created to which the main XTEL workshop objects required can be attached. These folders are extremely easy to create using the OS/2 DRAG AND
DROP function.
This option to customize access rights directly on the desktop provides better integration in the OS/2 environment.
• Direct manipulation of objects using DRAG AND DROP
The OS/2 DRAG AND DROP function can be used for all copy/paste and delete functions, for declaring network connections, etc, in order to simplify use and increase productivity.
• Editing parameters and selecting the communication driver in the data zones
From X-TEL V6, it is possible to modify object descriptions, enter an address, select a station address or select the communication driver directly from the data zones
(above and below the presentation zones).

Presentation
1.1-1 General
The Telemecanique X-TEL software workshop is fully integrated into the Presentation
Manager (PM) Graphic User Interface environment for OS/2. It supports IBM Common
User Access (CUA) standards for the operating environment. XTEL V6 runs with OS/2 version 2.1, 3.0 WARP Blue or Red.
The recommended minimum configuration is a 486 SX25 PC with :
• at least 8 Mb of RAM in the case of a standalone station,
• at least 12 Mb of RAM in the case of a network station, for launching Windows applications under OS/2 or launching PL7-3 V6,
• a 250 Mb hard disk.
Check that the parameters of the SWAPATH variable of the CONFIG.SYS file are 2048 and 16,384 (or higher). The first figure indicates the minimum amount of disk space remaining before a warning message indicates the lack of space. The second figure indicates the initial size of the SWAP file.
X-TEL takes advantage of specific OS/2 environment features such as :
A standard Graphic User Interface for all programs :
Icons to identify objects in the software workshop. Menu assisted dialog with pull-down menus and dialog boxes. Context related online help menus for all programs using either
Microsoft QUICKHelp, or the OS/2 help editor which also provides contents, a complete index and access via keywords.
The ability to run programs simultaneously :
X-TEL lets the user access multiple programs, all running simultaneously. Transition from one program to another is seamless and instantaneous.

Access to OS/2 and DOS applications :
X-TEL allows the user to access OS/2 or the DOS compatibility window while other applications are running without having to shut down X-TEL.
In this environment the X-TEL software workshop is a program integrator and service generator as well as managing control system applications.
X-TEL is designed for use with all TSX Series 7 PLCs using PL7-2 or PL7-3 programming languages, versions V2, V3, V4 or V5 and PMX V4 and V5 systems.
From version V6 on, it is also suitable for use with the new range of TSX Micro and
TSX Premium PLCs using PL7-Junior.
X-TEL supports the migration of V3 level DOS application files to OS/2. This applies to the program, data and documentation files. On reconfiguration, files developed under V3 are incremented to V4 level and can then be used with
Model 40 PLCs.
In addition, a conversion utility is supplied to convert diskettes which were formatted and generated on a T607 to PC compatible format (see Application Migration, Section A 3.1).

X-TEL Terminology
• A VOLUME is a storage field on a logical device or disk that is defined by configuration on the user’s programming terminal.
On a common logical disk, all projects are physically attached to the root directory
XPROPRJ but in order to establish a more explicit relationship between the volume and its contents, it is possible to name a volume.
Example : Where drive D: designates a partitioned hard disk, the volume on D: is D:ATEL_TOL, the physical path being D:\XPROPRJ.
• A PROJECT is an control system application. The X-TEL software workshop can manage one or more individual projects and can adapt to any type of project.
A single-station project comprises a single TSX Series 7 PLC station,
A multi-station project comprises a number of stations and networks.
The number of projects in a station is restricted to 1024 by the software or fewer if there is not enough space on the logical volume where the project is stored.
The number of networks used in the project depends on the type of PLCs and the selected architecture.
A project name of up to eight characters is assigned to the project, it cannot be used twice on the same volume. The workspace containing the project database, programs, data and documentation is created under this name.
• A STATION is all or part of the project. X-TEL can manage one or more stations in the same control system project.
A station is defined in a single project by a name of up to eight characters. Within the project, each station is assigned a dedicated workspace where all of its program, data and documentation files are stored.
When an application comprises one or more networks, a station is also defined by an address made up of the network number followed by the station number on the network.
• A NETWORK is the communication link between the various stations. A network is defined by a name of up to eight characters and a number. This applies to MAPWAY,
ETHWAY. FIPWAY, 802-3 or TELWAY networks.
• A BRIDGE is the station which connects different networks together. The bridge station has an address on each of the networks to which it is connected.
The bridge defines the topology of the entire communication system. The following station types can be used as bridges : TSX/PMX V4 and TSX/PMX V5 PLCs, Model
TSX 67 or higher.

PLC station terminology
• A FUNCTION is all or part of the control system application of a station. It is also referred to as a dedicated function.
Telemecanique modular PLCs are multifunction PLCs. Each function represents a dedicated function of the control system.
Each function is assigned one or more intelligent I/O modules and a program for use in programming the function (including configuration, actual code programming, setup and documentation). This functional breakdown only applies to TSX and PMX 47/67/
87/107-40 PLCs :
Example : Sequential programming of the processors
Axis control programming
Communication module programming
: PL7-3,
: PL7-AXE,
: PL7-COM.
Each dedicated function has its own workspace within the station workspace.
• TOOLS are service programs which can be optionally integrated into the basic X-TEL software workshop. They increase the effectiveness and the productivity of the software workshop.
Tools are assigned to the declared station. Selecting a specific type of station affects the type of tools available for use.
Example 1 : TSX 17-20 Station
Function : PL7-2.
Tools available : XTEL-SDBASE : Symbol Database,
XTEL-DOC : Station documentation (option),
XTEL-CONTROL,
SYSDIAG (option).
Example 2 : TSX 67-420 V4 Station
Functions : PL7-3, PL7-AXE, PL7-COM.
Tools available : XTEL-MOD : Modular construction (option),
XTEL-MEM : Memory construction,
XTEL-SDBASE : Symbol Database,
XTEL-DOC : Station documentation (option),
XTEL-TRANSFER and XTEL-CONTROL,
APPLIDIAG (option),
SYSDIAG (option).
Example 3 : PMX 107-455 V5 Station
Functions : PL7-3, PL7-AXE, PL7-COM, PL7-PMS2, PL7-NET.
Tools available : XTEL-MOD
XTEL-CONF

1.2-3 User management
In parallel with the project tree structure, the software workshop controls user access to the various software workshop functions and tools. User management is available in the
XTEL : User window which is launched from the X-TEL User icon in the Telemecanique group.
After entering the user's name and associated password, the XTEL : User window is used to create or modify user access rights, to access the Key Manager (management of the software access rights) or to open the XTEL : Software Workshop primary window and to access the Browser. In this way, the user can browse through the tree structure of his projects or create a customized environment on his programming terminal.
In V5.• and earlier versions, customization consisted of defining contexts and fast access routines in the XTEL : User secondary windows. From X-TEL V6 onwards, contexts are replaced by OS/2 folders and fast access routines by objects, tools and functions copied from the various software workshop windows.
Example :
Access can be customized from a folder entitled "Dupont", created directly on the OS/2 desktop. This is done by creating the "Dupont" folder by simply dragging the Folders icon from the OS/2 Models Folder onto the desktop. Then drag the icons for the objects selected from the software workshop into the Dupont folder. From then on, the user can launch his tools directly from the Dupont window without having to open the software workshop.
The contexts and fast access routines created for V5 projects cannot be accessed in V6.
Note :
User management is not compulsory. The X-TEL software workshop can be used in its default configuration. All users access it in the same way, via X-TEL User, default password : xtel. They all have maximum software access rights and no access security is implemented.

Introduction to X-TEL 1
A
User Identification
• THE SUPER USER is the privileged user with maximum access rights. This user can access all projects and data stored in the programming terminal as well as all programs installed. The default Super User name is XTEL and cannot be changed
or deleted.
This is the only user able to define new users allowed access to this programming terminal and define their precise access rights.
• THE USER is any potential user of the programming terminal. The user name must be declared by the Super User together with the assigned password and defined access rights. Users can change their own password at any time. Modifications become effective when the software workshop is next used.
• THE PASSWORD is required for access to the X-TEL software workshop. Each User has their own password. Passwords are encrypted in an OS/2 operating system file and cannot be accessed.
Lost Password :
If a User loses their Password, the Super User is the only one who can restore access rights to the user concerned. This operation does not affect projects stored in the programming terminal.
If the Super User loses their Password, they must contact Telemecanique product support.
With X-TEL V6, the user can remove or confirm the password request in each software workshop window (except for the XTEL : User window) from the Options menu.
• ACCESS RIGHTS are defined by the Super User according to the level of responsibility of each User of the programming terminal. The Super User has the maximum level of Access Rights and can assign six different levels of Access rights to various Users :
- Operate min. (Om)
- Adjust min. (Am)
- Program min. (Pm)
- Operate Max. (OM),
- Adjust Max. (AM),
- Program Max. (PM).
Operate : Allows the installation operator to access the process to adjust the values of preset variables.
Adjust : Allows a maintenance technician to access the process to ensure continued production. This allows modification of variables and ensures that PLC Run/Stop incidents are resolved.
Program : Allows the project manager access to all of the software workshop functions.
(See detailed tables in Section 4 : Access Rights in appendix).

2.1-1 XTEL-CONF Tool
The XTEL-CONF tool is used to build the I/O configurations for local and remote racks connected by a FIPIO bus in TSX or PMX V5 level stations. It also supports automatic construction of the application structure based on the dedicated applications used by the station.
The main applications that can be used are
• PL7-3, PL7-3 GLD/GLT : Sequential PLC programming
• PL7-AXE
• PL7-COM
: Axis control programming
: Communication module programming
• PL7-PCL
• PL7-PMS/PMS2
• PL7-MMI
: Analog input module programming
: PMX process control programming
: Man-machine interface programming
XTEL-CONF CAN ONLY BE USED WITH V5 LEVEL PLCs.
Before using XTEL-CONF, the user must install the required dedicated programs in the station. If this phase is omitted, XTEL-CONF will not be able to correctly assign the fields required by the various dedicated programs. Any change in the functions used requires the automatic configuration generation routine to be repeated.
XTEL-CONF can only be used on TSXV5 or PMXV5 type stations and supports the following main functions :
●
Defining the processor type and its memory cartridge size and type,
●
Configuring PLC I/O : local I/O in the PLC rack and remote I/O accessed via a FIPIO bus,
●
Configuring task sampling periods,
●
Building the application structure from configuration parameters and the dedicated functions declared for the station.
All of the functions supported by XTEL-CONF and how to use them is described in detail in the "X-TEL Software Workshop Basic Tools" manual, Part D - Section 1.

TSX T607 Application Migration
Applications developed on Telemecanique TSX T607 terminals can be reused after transfer to a microcomputer.
Where the X-TEL programming terminal is an FTX 507 or an note-book FTX 417.
Among the utility programs supplied with this Telemecanique portable PC compatible microcomputer is the T607toPC conversion program.
This program converts a file developed on a TSX T607 to a DOS file.
To convert an existing file, insert the TSX T607 format diskette into the diskette drive of the FTX and run the utility.
The program, data and documentation files will be transferred and can be reused in
X-TEL if the Import action is used. This action is described in Part B. This means that it is not necessary to have a TSX T607 terminal available.
Where the X-TEL programming terminal is a PC-PS/2 or compatible microcomputer
Applications developed on a TSX T607 are recovered using the TSX LK6 PC program package.
This requires a TSX T607 terminal connected to the microcomputer.
The program package that comprises Kermit running in the TSX T607 software cartridge and under DOS ensures that data is transferred from one machine to the other.
The program, data and documentation files will be transferred and can be reused in
X-TEL if the Import action is used. This action is described in the next section.
Note :
The hardware connection between a programming terminal running X-TEL and PL7-3 and a TSX Series 7 PLC supports direct transfer of applications from the memory of V2-V3 PLCs.

3.2
PC/PS-DOS Application Migration
Import and Export actions can be accessed at the icon level of each dedicated function.
These features are also available from XTEL-TRANSFER and XTEL-MEM.
IMPORT
The Import action imports applications generated under DOS into the X-TEL software workshop. It also supports the transfer to the Station of files stored on the hard disk or on diskette which were generated under X-TEL on another station.
• To import a file it is important to know where it is located :
Logical drive\Directory\Sub-directory\...\
PL7-2 : Importing files generated under PL7-2 DOS
The default file tree is :
PL7-2 TSX 27/47 under DOS PL7\USER\OBJCODE2\Filename
PL7-2 TSX 17 under DOS PL7\USER\OBJ_2_17\Filename
PL7-3 : Importing files generated under PL7-3 DOS
The default file tree is :
PL7-3 under DOS PL7\USER\OBJCODE3\Filename
USER is the default project name. This name can be changed by the application designer.
PL7-X : Importing X-TEL files
The file tree is :
Logical Drive\XPROPRJ\PROJECT\STATION\FUNCTION\ZONE
• To import a file it is essential to know its directory in the target station field. The user must only select the storage field :
APPLI or MOD.
Each PL7-X function describes the detailed usage of these fields. In general, most files are imported into the APPLI field (e.g. .BIN, .DAT, .SCY files) while the files (.SCY or
.SCZ) and the source files (.LIT, LAD, etc) are stored in the MOD field (zone).
EXPORT
Export enables the user to export files generated by the PL7-X functions of the software workshop from the X-TEL storage tree. The user must specify the target logical device and the required path before the transfer can be performed.

3.3
Copy/Paste Actions
Presentation
This high performance feature enables the user to reuse all or part of an existing Project/
Station/Function in another volume on the same programming terminal or on another programming terminal.
Later, using the Modify function, the user can rename the various entities which were copied.
The copy and paste functions cannot be separated as paste is performed after copy.
This function is available at different levels in the X-TEL software workshop using the
OS/2 clipboard. The clipboard is a buffer memory which temporarily stores data being used.
Copy
The Copy function copies the names of the selected objects. Only one Copy operation can be performed at any given time. Copying something else to the clipboard will overwrite anything previously in the clipboard.
The Copy function is available at all levels from project to function or station tool.
When copying a Station for example, its name and assigned data is first stored in the clipboard.
Paste
It is only possible to Paste an object once it has been copied into the clipboard. The object in the clipboard must be the same as the object selected in X-TEL where the Paste operation is to be performed.
The Paste function :
• Creates the object at the target location
The coherence of the requested action is checked by X-TEL. If the clipboard contains a Station, then it is only possible to Paste to Station level in another Project.
• Completely duplicates the contents attached to the copied object
(directories and files).
The contents of the clipboard can be pasted as many times as required. Its contents will not change until another object is copied to the clipboard, overwriting its contents.
The Copy/Paste procedure can also be performed using the Drag and Drop function :
CTRL + click on the object using the right-hand mouse button while dragging it from the original presentation zone to the destination presentation zone.
Important : If the CTRL key is not using during this process, the object will simply be moved from one zone to the other.
Note :
An object cannot be copied onto itself.

3.4
Duplicating a project or station within the same space
Unlike the Copy/Paste function, this feature enables the user to reuse a station or project within the same logical space by giving it a new name.
• duplicating a station within the same project : the contents of the station (directories + files) will be copied into the same project but under a different name.
• duplicating a project within the same volume : the contents of the project (directories + files) will be copied into the same volume but under a different name.
3.5
Application Backup/Restore Actions
These actions are available from the menus in the X-TEL : Software Workshop,
X-TEL : Volume and X-TEL : Projects windows which enable the user to :
• Back up a Volume, Project or Station to one or more diskettes with all of the Functions and Tools assigned to the station (this function can be directly performed by Dragging and Dropping a volume, project or station object to the OS/2 Drive A or Drive B icon).
• Restore a Volume, Project or Station from one or more diskettes (backed-up using the Backup action) to the X-TEL software workshop.
Restoring a Volume, Project or Station to X-TEL implies that it does not already exist.
If a Volume or Project with the same name already exists, an error message is displayed.
Note :
A station which has been backed up on diskette can be restored as project or station. When dealing with a backup station, the project name is also backed up; this is why a backup station can be restored as backup project to obtain a project with a single station (a single station can be restored from a backup project in the same way).

OS/2 - V2.1 and Warp V3.0
1.1-1 General principles
When the computer is started up, OS/2 presents a screen called Desktop which displays icons which are known as objects. These objects can represent :
• data files (letters, tables)
• peripherals (printers, fax machines)
• OS/2, DOS or Windows applications
• folders containing other objects
B
The desktop can be considered as a main folder containing everything required for using
OS/2. The following objects appear on the desktop :
• The OS/2 folder, containing objects which can be used to configure OS/2, to access DOS or OS/2 windows or other tools such as editors, the display of disk tree structures, etc.
• The Information folder, containing online information including the OS/2 Presentation (online tutorial), reference manuals, etc.
• The Templates folder, containing object templates for the various types of object in OS/2. These objects are designed to facilitate the creation of new objects such as folders, files and applications.
___________________________________________________________________________
1/1
B
___________________________________________________________________________
B
• The LaunchPad Palette, containing the most frequently used objects. It is possible to add other objects to the
LaunchPad Palette to create a customized work environment. The LaunchPad Palette is available from
WARP V3 version onwards.
If there are Windows applications on the computer, the desktop also contains the following icons :
• The Windows Programs folder, containing Windows program objects which were installed before OS/2.
• The WIN-OS/2 Groups folder, containing Windows program group objects which were created under the
Windows Program Manager.
In the same way, once the X-TEL software workshop has been installed, the
Telemecanique folder will appear on the Desktop :
• The Telemecanique folder, containing X-TEL software workshop objects which are used to open the following windows : X-TEL : User, X-TEL : Software Workshop and the XTEL Browser.
Note:
For further information and details on how to use OS/2, refer to the "OS/2 user guide" manual from
IBM.

1/3
B
___________________________________________________________________________
1.1-3 Using the Settings notebook
Each object has a Settings notebook, accessed from the context menu, which can be used to customize the settings for this object. These parameters can be standard or specific items. The various types of parameter are organized into pages which have
B out in the following way :
• View
Is used to select the display mode for the icons and text associated with the object.
• Include
Includes objects in / excludes objects from the folder.
• Sort
Enables the user to specify the sort items which can be accessed from the context menu for the object.
• Background
Enables the user to select a picture or colour to be assigned to the background of an open folder.
• Menu
Enables the user to add, delete or modify items in the context menu for the object.
• File

1.1-4 OS/2 information and online help
OS/2 provides a large amount of online information. Help information is available for each desktop object. This help is accessed via the Help Push Button in each context menu or via the F1 key.
As a general rule the Information folder provides help on using OS/2.
B
The main topics in the online help are as follows :
• Tutorial
This tool is interactive and animated. It presents the desktop (also known as the
Desktop shell). It explains how to use the mouse, manipulate objects and folders and use windows. It is advisable to follow this tutorial to become familiar with the OS/2 system before using the X-TEL software workshop.
• Glossary
This contains the list, in alphabetical order, of the terms used in the desktop and the online help. These terms can be accessed in the glossary by typing the first letter of the required word, scrolling through the list or by using the find function.
• Main index
This contains a list of subjects relating to the use of OS/2, such as the concepts of
OS/2, sequence of operations or error messages.
___________________________________________________________________________
1/5
B
___________________________________________________________________________
1.1-5 Using the LaunchPad Palette
(from WARP version V3.0 onwards)
The LaunchPad Palette contains the most frequently used objects and Push Buttons.
The graphic representation of the LaunchPad Palette on the desktop has two zones :
B
• a system operation zone at the left of the LaunchPad Palette.
• an application objects zone at the right of the LaunchPad Palette.
System operation zone :
• Lockup
Is used to lock the display and the keyboard at any time, preventing use of the system in the operator's absence.
• Find
Is used to locate objects in the system.
• Window list
Is used to locate open objects, minimized windows or to close open windows.
• Shut down
Is used to shut down a system in the correct way before switching off the computer.
The shut down operation backs up the desktop settings to the hard disk.
Note :
Never switch off the computer before the Shut down procedure is complete.
Application objects zone :
By default this zone presents the most frequently used objects such as Drive A (which gives access to information on the diskette), the OS/2 Tutorial object, the Shredder object, the OS/2 object in a window (which is used to access the OS/2 command prompt in a window on the desktop) and the Printer object.
To improve ease of use it is possible to add objects to the LaunchPad Palette. To do this, simply pick up the required object and drag it into the LaunchPad Palette.
Adding an object customizes the LaunchPad Palette and provides direct access to any object.
Note :
X-TEL supplies a utility called NEWPAD.EXE used to create new LaunchPad Palettes.

1.1-6 Using the Shredder
The Shredder object is used to quickly and easily delete objects. It is located on the desktop and/or the LaunchPad Palette.
B
To delete an object simply drag it onto the Shredder icon.
If the object is a duplicate, only the duplicate will be deleted, not the original object.
X-TEL objects on the OS/2 desktop or in folders are duplicates (or references).

Window Presentation
The X-TEL user environment is based on the principle of the creation of tree-structured projects as described in Part A of this manual :
Volume Project Stations
Networks
Project tools
Functions
Station tools
Network tools
X-TEL presents this control system project structure in the form of windows.
X-TEL uses the following OS/2 functions :
• multitasking : running several tasks in parallel.
• windows : to present objects describing control system databases and programs.
The TELEMECANIQUE folder is located on the desktop. It contains the following objects :
• X-TEL user : invokes the X-TEL : User window for managing user and the various software access rights.
• X-TEL : invokes the X-TEL : Software Workshop window which displays the volumes containing the projects. This is the upper level of the software workshop.
• X-TEL Browser : accesses the X-TEL Browser.
• Conversion of MINI X-TEL files: enables MINI X-TEL files to be retrieved to an X-TEL project.
B
2.1-1 X-TEL primary windows
Primary windows are by definition windows representing types of object managed by
X-TEL, ie. volumes, projects, stations and networks.
X-TEL Primary Windows :
• Volumes window title = X-TEL : Software Workshop
• Volume window title = X-TEL : Volumes - Volume name
• Project window title = X-TEL : Project - Project name - Volume name
• Station window title = X-TEL : Station - Station name -Project name - Volume name
• Network window title = X-TEL : Network - Network name - Project name - Volume name
In addition to these primary windows, there is a management window :
• User window
2 / 1
B
___________________________________________________________________________
B
Each primary window displays :
• a list of actions in the menu bar,
• toolbars which can be configured to be available or not,
• one or more presentation zones for X-TEL objects which can be accessed at a lower level in the tree structure,
• one or two information zones.
Selecting a presentation zone automatically changes the action bar to display the actions specific to that zone.
The toolbar displays the icons for actions in the menu bar, thus simplifying access to these actions.
The information zones enable object descriptions, network and station addresses to be displayed and modified and selection of the communication driver.
The following is displayed in the X-TEL : User management window :
• a list of actions in the menu bar, for managing users and software access rights,
• a user identification window.
The X-TEL primary windows and management window have the same zones as OS/2 windows : system menu, minimize button, maximize button, etc.
2.1-2 X-TEL presentation zones
The presentation zones describe the relationships between objects in the software workshop.
A presentation zone is always located in a primary window.
For example, in the X-TEL : Volumes primary window the Project, Stations, Networks and Project Tools presentation zones illustrate the direct relationships between the objects in the project.
___________________________________________________________________________
2 / 2
X-TEL User Environment 2
___________________________________________________________________________
One or two levels of relationships are found in a primary window :
• X-TEL : Software Workshop Volumes/Projects : two levels
• X-TEL : Volume
• X-TEL : Project
Projects/Stations, Networks, Project Tools : two levels
Stations, Networks, Project Tools : one level
• X-TEL : Station
• X-TEL : Network
Functions, Station Tools : one level
Connections, Connectables, Network Tools : one level
Each presentation zone shows one or more objects represented in the form of icons or as a detailed description.
Example :
Stations presentation zone in the XTEL : Project primary window.
In this zone all the stations in the project which are recognized by the software workshop are displayed.
B
These zones can show a detailed description, as illustrated below :
The size of a presentation zone can be changed by moving the vertical separation bars
2 / 3
B
___________________________________________________________________________
2.1-3 X-TEL menu bars
The X-TEL software workshop uses the menu bar concept available under OS/2 for programs executed in windows.
Each menu bar offers several options. Each menu has an associated list of actions.
B associated with keystrokes, which are shown to the right of the action. The user can thus perform these actions using the mouse or a keyboard shortcut.
The commands available from the menu bar apply to the entire window.
This example of the X-TEL : Volume primary window shows how, by selecting the View menu in the menu bar, the list of available actions is displayed in the form of a pull-down menu.
In the example, the Sort action is a multiple choice menu with a second list of actions for this action. The presence of this secondary list is indicated by a horizontal arrow to the right of the action.
If an action is grayed out, it is not available.
The keyboard shortcuts are shown to the right of the action. For example, Ctrl+S for the
Find action and Ctrl+N for Next.
___________________________________________________________________________
2 / 4
X-TEL User Environment 2
___________________________________________________________________________
The menu bar for a primary window is specific to the presentation zone selected. The action lists thus change according to the presentation zone which is currently selected and other action lists are specific to the window displayed.
The following example illustrates this function.
B
The Projects presentation zone is selected and the second menu in the menu bar is
Projects and offers a list of actions specific to project objects.
The Stations presentation zone is selected, and the menu bar offers the Stations menu and a list of associated actions.
In this case, the other menus in the menu bar (Volume, Communication, Options and
Help) are fixed and independent of the selected presentation zone.
The View menu is fixed but the actions apply to the current presentation zone.

___________________________________________________________________________
2.1-4 X-TEL Tool and Function Windows
The Tool and Function windows are based on the same principles, however the following differences should be noted :
The syntax of the window titles is :
B title : XTEL : Project_Tools - Tool Name - Project Name Volume Name title : XTEL : Station_Tools - Tool Name - Station Name Project Name Volume Name
The presentation zone concept is not always applied.
If the working zone is blank, X-TEL will display its own logo.
The menu bar actions are specific and specially designed for the features of each tool.
The PL7-X Functions Windows are not all PM (Presentation Manager) windows, but do provide the ease of used of OS/2.
Window titles : title : XTEL : Function - Function Name - Station Name - Project Name Volume Name
These windows do not have menu bars the same as X-TEL windows but use the same presentation as the current range of PL7-x software . However, a mouse can be used with them.

2.1-5 Icons
An icon is a graphic representation of :
• Software workshop windows or objects :
It is possible to change any software workshop window or object into icon format. The icon will keep the same name as the original window or object.
The system zone and the associated commands can always be accessed by selecting the icon.
The icon corresponds to an application state. The application continues to run and can be restored as a window on request, but does not take up the screen.
Icons are made up of several components : the icon drawing, the icon name an associated context menu.
Example : Station object oven_3 of the Factory project
B
• software workshop programs : in this case the name of the icon is defined in the program.

B
___________________________________________________________________________
2.1-6 Dialog Boxes
X-TEL software workshop commands often require that the user enter additional information before performing the required action. In this case X-TEL opens a dialog box which asks the user for the required information or simply for confirmation of the action.
B
A dialog box is an easy way of presenting X-TEL questions to the user.
Like a window, a dialog box comprises :
• a title which depends on the context.
• a system menu.
A dialog box can contain :
• lists of choices (types of object recognized by the software workshop),
• data entry fields,
• information display zones,
• Buttons for confirming or cancelling the entries made.
Dialog boxes usually have three buttons :
• OK : confirms the contents of the box,
• Cancel : cancels the requested action,
• Help : calls up the online help, and in the case of a requested action, an additional confirmation step with a Yes - No choice can be displayed.

X-TEL User Environment 2
___________________________________________________________________________
2.1-7 Notebook
When there is a large number of command actions, or they are very complex, the notebook can be used as the interface with the user instead of the dialog box.
The notebook is a graphic representation which looks like a bound notebook.
B
Title tab
Title tab scroll arrow
The pages in the notebook are separated by dividers with title tabs which make it easy to move from one page to another.
Selecting a title tab opens the notebook at the page described by the text on the tab.
___________________________________________________________________________

B
___________________________________________________________________________
2.1-8 Toolbars
The toolbars in the X-TEL primary windows represent actions which can be performed on objects, and the various display options for the objects in the presentation zones.
They form a summary of the actions which are possible, and simplify actions on objects for the user.
B
Display of these toolbars is optional. The user can select them in the Option menu in the menu bar for each of the software workshop windows.
There are three ways of displaying a toolbar :
• Buttons : (Example above) displays buttons with a graphic representation of the action to be performed. These buttons simplify the actions on software workshop, objects when using the mouse.
• Text :
• Buttons and text : displays the text of the action.
displays both the graphic representation and the text.
In all the above cases a help bubble displays a more detailed message on the action when the mouse cursor is on the button or the text.
The action and display toolbars can be positioned at the top, bottom, to the right or left of a window. They can be floating (in an independent window) or masked (they are then invisible).
It is possible to modify the tool or action bars using Drag and Drop. For example, a button can be cancelled, moved from one bar to another, etc.

Using the mouse
The environment for using the mouse in the software workshop is the same as OS/2. A two button mouse is used.
B
The symbol used when showing mouse commands is
The main actions are as follows :
Point : position the cursor on the object to select or activate
Click : point to the object, press the mouse button, then release it.
Example : to reduce a window to an icon :
Point to the minimize icon, click.
Double click : point to the selected object then click quickly twice.
Example : restore a window :
Point to the icon, double click.
Drag : this action is used to pick up and put down an object in another location on the desktop or a folder. Select the object by pointing, then press and hold down the right button while moving the mouse. Release the button when the required location is reached.
The mouse has two buttons, which :
• select the object : click on the left button,
• display the context menu : point to the object and click the right button. Context menus appear for objects and the presentation zones.
Example : to display the context menu for the volume object
Point to the volume icon, click on the right mouse button.
Note :
X-TEL provides a utility known as BUTRIGHT.EXE which moves this window to the background by clicking on a window title zone with the right mouse button.
When X-TEL is installed, this utility is placed in the start-up group, which starts it up automatically whenever the machine is started.

Using the UNI-TELWAY driver
General
The UNI-TELWAY driver can be integrated into X-TEL for 2 types of applications :
- direct connection : it facilitates the local maintenance of an application containing an extended UNI-TELWAY bus by authorizing the connection of an X-TEL terminal at any point on the bus.
- remote connection, using modems : it connects an X-TEL terminal to a PLC in pointto-point mode, via modem and the telephone network switched to remote
maintenance.
In both cases, all the X-TEL functions are available : transfer, debugging, programming, etc.
The X-TEL terminal behaves like a UNI-TELWAY slave and can therefore be connected logically via the master to any remote device belonging to an X-WAY architecture, as long as it does not cross another UNI-TELWAY slave to reach it, (usual restrictions on
X-WAY transparency).
Once the driver and the bus master have been configured correctly, communication is managed in a way that is completely transparent to the user, except for the performance aspect which is of course a function of the data rate used on UNI-TELWAY.

• Connection via modems
PLC side :
The product references of the modules which can be used are as follows :
- for modular PLCs :
TSX SCM 2111, UNI-TELWAY module on channel 1 ; TSX SCA1 adaptor (6-signal
RS232)
TSX SCM 2113, UNI-TELWAY module on channel 1 ; TSX SCA3 adaptor (9-signal
RS232)
- for the TSX 17, TSX SCG 113, UNI-TELWAY module with 9-signal adaptor
As can be seen, the UNI-TELWAY module can be fitted with either a 6-signal (SCA1) or 9-signal (SCA3) RS232 adaptor. The additional signals handled by the SCA3 compared to the SCA1 are as follows :
• DSR, Data SET Ready signals that the modem is powered up (forced in the
SCA1),
• RI, Ring Indicator signals that the modem receives a call,
• DSRS, selects binary rate,
These various signals may be ignored by using automatic response modems, which is most often the case (V25 standard) and therefore either SCM 2111 or SCM 2113 can be used.
PC side, 2 connection methods are possible :
- using external modems (separate units) : the RS232 port of the PC is used (COM1 on FTX 507),
- using an integral modem (card) : in this case the connection cable to the telephone socket is supplied by the modem manufacturer.
Note
Schneider Automation S.A do not supply modems but can advise the user on his choice of a device.

Operating principle
During installation (see section 5.6 part B), a certain number of slave link addresses are assigned to the driver and these should also be configured in the UNI-TELWAY bus master.
The number of link addresses defined corresponds to the maximum number of X-TEL tools which can be used simultaneously in online mode.
• 1st case : direct connection to UNI-TELWAY :
After the X-TEL station has been connected to the bus, and as soon as the user starts up a tool in online mode, the driver will respond to the pollings sent by the master to all the configured addresses (see simplified schematic). The communication of tool 1 with the remote device will use the first link address defined in the driver. If the user starts up a second tool in online mode, the second link address will be used, and so on.
Similarly, when a tool is closed or the system goes offline, communication will be interrupted on the corresponding link and the driver just responds to the polling of the master on that address. When the last tool is closed, the driver will stop responding on all the addresses which apply to it and will then be considered to be disconnected by the bus master. The master will scan these addresses periodically (once every
10 cycles) as it would do for any slave station.
B
IMPORTANT
If the master does not scan all the link addresses configured in the driver, the driver changes to fault mode. It is therefore essential to configure all the UNI-TELWAY driver addresses in the master.
• 2nd case : connection via modems
The principle is the same as described above. The only difference is that when the 1st tool is started in online mode, the driver will send the call sequence of the remote modem to the local modem. The local modem then dials the number and is responsible for the telephone connection. Once the link has been established, the driver begins to respond to the polling on all its link addresses, in the same way as for direct connection. Operation from then on is identical, up to the closing of the last tool when the driver is then forced to disconnect the local modem.
Subsequently, when a new tool is started this will trigger a new call sequence.

Performance
Obviously, the performance of X-TEL in online mode on UNI-TELWAY will depend on the following factors :
- number of devices connected to the bus
B
- time out of the master
- number of link addresses defined in the driver
- number of X-TEL tools connected simultaneously
- use of functions which use a great deal of communication : eg. transfer
Some of these factors are common to any use of the UNI-TELWAY bus. Therefore, the installation rules are described in the corresponding reference manual (TSX D24004E).
On the other hand, other factors are specific to the UNI-TELWAY driver and the user must take care not to disturb the rest of the bus communication by using X-TEL improperly in online mode.
Selection of configuration parameters
The creation or modification of the driver configuration is described in section 5.4 part B.
Only the supplementary parameters will be described here.
• Direct connection
- Driver configuration :
Various driver configuration parameters are defined on installation or afterwards by accessing the "UNI-TELWAY DRIVER CONFIGURATION" menu from the
TELEMECANIQUE group. These are :
- The PC communication port and the baud rate : the selection of the communication port and the baud rate are linked to the existing hardware, that is to the type of PC used and to the UNI-TELWAY bus to which connection is required.
- the reception address of unsolicited data : the address provided to receive unsolicited data is not actually handled by X-TEL. Therefore address 0 corresponding to no unsolicited data must be entered.
- the link addresses : the link addresses, and their direct influence on the overall performance of the UNI-TELWAY bus are mentioned in the previous section. We generally recommend keeping the default configuration proposed during installation, ie 2 link addresses.
- Configuration of the master :
The configuration parameters are described in the manual TSX D24005E for the
TSX SCM 21.6 UNI-TELWAY module. Make sure that all the link addresses defined in the driver are configured, since communication will not be possible if any are missed.

• Connection via modem :
- Configuration of the driver
database parameters : the baud rate and communication port will depend on the type of modem used. Refer to the supplier manuals for the modem and PC to obtain correct information on these parameters.
link addresses : we recommend limiting the number of driver link addresses, because of the fall in baud rate that can be caused by modems. However, it is worth configuring at least 2 addresses, in order to be able to change from one tool to another without the calling modem disconnecting the telephone line.
The 2nd tool is started up, then the first is closed, which is impossible if only one link address is defined. Since the X-TEL station is connected in point-to-point mode on the PLC, we recommend that link addresses 1 and 2 be used to provide an optimum service.
modem parameters : the call number should follow the HAYES standard :
P for pulse dialling
T for multifrequency dialling
W to wait for the tone example : T16W192012715 to call with multifrequency dialling the subscriber
92012715 in the Paris region from the provinces.
IMPORTANT :
The driver immediately accepts the entry of a new number without the PC having to be rebooted. However, any modification of another installation parameter will only take effect after the next reboot.
- Configuration of the master
- since the master-slave link must be point-to-point, the master will also have
2 addresses defined for polling : 1 and 2.
- the Time Out for the new link should be chosen according to the transmission speed.
Speed
300/600 bps
1200/2400 bps
Time Out
1000 ms
500 ms
In the manual TSX D24005E
"Programming and installation of the
SCM 2116 module", the recommended
Time Out is greater that the transmission time for 10 characters, to which must be added the delay due to the modems. In practice, the values opposite can be followed.
4800/9600 bps 200 ms
B
___________________________________________________________________________
5 / 1 1
B
___________________________________________________________________________
Tests have shown that there was no penalty in having a long Time Out, insofar as at the most when one address was not polled, Time Out would only occur once for every 10 successful pollings of the other address.
B
Characteristics of modems :
They must have the following characteristics :
- conformity with one of the following CCITT notices : V22,V22bis,V32,
- asynchronous transmission mode,
- use of HAYES (or AT) commands,
- automatic call response (V25),
- use of RTC or LS transmission as appropriate,
- V24 junction,
- 11-bit character format : 1 START, 8 characters, 1 odd parity, 1 STOP,
- PC AT or MCA bus format card, as appropriate, if the modem is integral.
IMPORTANT :
Experience shows in fact that different behavior is observed between devices which nevertheless conform to the same standards. It has also been noticed that some modems operate correctly with some PCs, but not with others (compatibility limits, etc).
We therefore advise users who do not have the appropriate means of investigation (in particular a line analyzer) to ask their Telemecanique agent for the list of approved modems before selecting a device.
Configuration of modems
For the calling modem (X-TEL PC), the driver is responsible for the correct configuration of some modem parameters by sending it the appropriate sequence of HAYES commands, in particular the subscriber number of the remote device.
For the called modem, the configuration of modem is the responsibility of the user.
According to the supplier, modems can be configured in different ways : by switches, by front panel programming, or by programming from a remote terminal using HAYES commands.
The minimum parameters which should be configured are described below, as well as the corresponding HAYES commands.

• Parameters common to 2 modems :
It is essential that the following parameters are configured in the same way in both modems used :
- Environment
- type of modulation : V22, V22bis, etc (some modems automatically recognize the type of modulation) [ATB and ATF],
- rate,
- asynchronous mode [AT&M0], number of bits per character : 11 bits : 1 start, 1 stop, 1 odd parity, 8 data. [can be configured by register],
- quality of the line : specialized or RTC [AT&L],
- Signal management : all signals are managed in a standard way
- DTR (108.2), Normal. In line mode, changing from DTR to OFF forces the modem into controlled mode and breaks the communication. When DTR is ON the modem is ready to connect if a call arrives [AT&D2],
- RTS, Normal. CTS (106) follows RTS (105) without delay. [AT&R0],
According to the modems, the RTS/CTS delay can be defined in a register, or by another command : [AT*DL0],
- CD (109), Normal. ON during initial contact and follows the carrier in normal operation. OFF when the modem is disconnected [AT&C1],
- DSR (107), Normal. ON during communication [AT*MR0].
• Parameters specific to the calling modem :
- configure in calling mode [AT*CA0],
- select pulse or voice frequency dialling [character P pulse, or T tone sent by the driver to the modem during the dialling command phase],
- select time unit in pulse dialling [AT&P1],
- the call number is sent to the modem by the driver.
• Parameters specific to the called modem :
- configure in called mode [AT*CA1].

10 Archive function
10.1 Presentation
10.1-1 General
Objects which can be archived are stations and project tools.
The archive function enables the following operations to be performed :
• save a station or project tool to an archive space which is separate from the XTEL workspaces.
• restore a station or project tool to the user's workspace.
• handle access conflicts and data integrity in the archive spaces.
• optimize the disk space occupied by an XTEL object.
• facilitate development of a control system project by a number of people.
• manage the versions of an object which can be archived.
• associate information with an object which can be archived.
The user can set the parameters for the archive actions and create or select archive spaces. An archive space has the same structure as a workspace, but the volume is called XPROARCH instead of XPROPRJ. An object has the same project name in a workspace and in its archives. This makes the management of project names transparent.
An archive space can be located on a diskette.
The user can then Put, Get, Lock and Unlock objects in the archive space. The lock/ unlock mechanism enables multi-user operation of the software workshop with no danger of data collision.
There can be several versions of an archive. The user can delete some or all of the versions of an archive, and can view the log of the archive actions and the versions of an archive.
B
C
D
E
10.1-2 Reservation mode
Two operating modes are offered for managing control system projects : one which manages the lock/unlock mechanism and another which does not.
The latter can be used in a single user, single station context.
In this mode the user can put away and pick up whichever objects he wants.
The mode which manages reservation should be used when several users are working on the same project, in which case several people may need to work on the same station.
When reservation management is chosen, a user can only put away an object if it has first been locked. A few examples are shown below :
• creating an archive of an object : the user has never archived the object. He must put away the object in order to create an archive,

C
• view : the user picks up an object without locking it in order to view its contents,
• simple modification : the user picks up an object by locking it, modifies it, then puts it away by unlocking it,
• modifying and retaining the object : the user picks up an object by locking it, modifies it, then puts it away without unlocking it if he wishes to make further modifications to it. Once all the modifications have been made, he will put the object away by unlocking it.
• aborting modification : the user picks up an object by locking it, modifies it, then if he wishes to abort his modifications, he must unlock the object and pick it up (without locking it) in order to update the object in his workspace,
• other operations are possible but should be avoided. For example, picking up an object then locking it is dangerous as another user could have modified the object
(picked it up by locking it, modified it, and put it away by unlocking it) and the object on the programming terminal may no longer be up to date.

10.2 Access
Archives can be accessed from the menus in the primary windows and the contextual menus for each object (if the objects can be archived). The user can access all the archive actions or only the put or get actions :

11.1 Presentation
This function is used for learning and comparing architectures.
11 Learn function
A
B
11.1-1 Learn
Learning includes the following :
• automatic creation in the software workshop of the network/station architecture of an existing installation.
• downloading of applications from TSXV5 and PMXV5 type stations in the installation to a programming terminal, if these stations are connected to the MAPWAY,
ETHWAY, FIPWAY, TELWAY or 802-3 networks.
This enables the user to access an existing installation very easily without having to create the volume/project/stations/networks/tools/functions, without having to set up all the connections and without having to download the V5 applications using the XTEL-
TRANSFER tool.
There are three levels in the learn function :
• learn the whole installation (all the networks/stations),
• learn a station which is not declared in the software workshop on the terminal.
• learn a station already declared on the terminal.
The first level is called learn site, the second learn station, and the third learn application.
Note :
Learn site can only be accessed if a network tool is installed.
C
D
E
Limitations on the Learn function
• Learn only recognizes Telemecanique networks : TELWAY, MAPWAY, FIPWAY,
ETHWAY AND 802-3.
• During learn site, only the networks linked by bridges are recognized.
• The X-TEL programming terminal connected to a network must have the same number as the local network in order for learn to be executed. Otherwise, the network stations will be created as OTHER.
• Exceptions :
- Multinetwork architecture : In most cases, a network with a given number corresponds to a physical medium. If several network numbers are declared on the same physical medium, learn will only create a single network for that medium. The stations on that network will be correctly created and the other stations on the medium will be created as OTHER.

Example :
For a medium on which three networks (numbers 1, 2 and 3) and stations at 1.1, 1.2,
2.3, 2.4, 3.5 and 3.6 are declared, a network will be created (number 1 for example).
The stations at 1.1 and 1.2 will be correctly created and the stations at 2.3, 2.4, 3.5
and 3.6 will be created as OTHER with addresses 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6.
- Multimodule architecture : If a station has several modules connected on the same medium, then learn will create as many stations as there are modules.
C
D
11.1-2 Compare
There are three levels of comparison which can be used to compare the existing installation and the data on the terminal :
• compare with the site, which compares the existing installation with a project in the software workshop on the terminal,
• compare station, which compares the type of station on site and the V5 application on it with a station in the software workshop on the terminal,
• compare application, which compares the application on a V5 station on site with an application on a software workshop station on the terminal.

11.3 Learn site
This enables automatic creation of the site architecture in the software workshop and downloading of the site V5 applications to the programming terminal.
Creating the architecture consists of :
• creating in the software workshop all the networks and stations connected to these networks on the site,
• declaring the network and station addresses,
• connecting the stations to the networks.
Downloading applications consists of downloading the V5 applications in the same way as would be done by the user using XTEL-TRANSFER V5, with automatic creation of the tools and functions used by the application.

12 Key Manager tool
12.1 Presentation
The Key Manager program is an X-TEL software workshop tool, accessed from the
XTEL-User window.
Since the X-TEL or MINI X-TEL software workshops are not protected, a tree structure can be created for a project without the rights of use being on the programming terminal.
However, the programs supplied with the software workshop, such as XTEL-CONF (for
TSXV5 or PMXV5 stations) or XTEL-MEM (for TSXV4 or PMXV4 stations) and
XTEL-TRANSFER, can only run when the X-TEL right of use is present on the terminal.
The original X-TEL key module lets the user access the basic functions of the software workshop. Each operation also has its own original key module.
In order to access a number of programs simultaneously on the same machine, the various rights of use must be combined into a single key module. The installation procedure handles the various steps which ensure that the user has a usable working key module.
A key module can take nine different states:
• Original key module: contains the original right of use for a software program.
• Working key module: contains the rights of use of the programs after a backup key has been generated.
• Backup or save key module: used to create a help key.
• Help (Emergency) key module: lets the user run all the programs for a limited time during the troubleshooting phase.
• Inhibited key module: a module whose rights of use can no longer be used.
• Empty key module: contains no right of use.
• Temporary pass key module: has a limited service life that lets the user run all the programs in the software workshop.
• Incremental key module: used to upgrade the rights of use in an original key module from version n to version n+ 1.
• Backup working key module: A working key module whose rights of use have been transferred to the hard disk.
Note: The rights of use of the diskette key module can be transferred to the hard
disk.
The KEY MANAGER tool is used to transfer the rights of use to the hard disk of the programming terminal and to use them there. The rights of use on a hardware working key module or on a diskette key module can be transferred to this main memory and vice versa.
In the event of failure of the hard disk, of its formatting or of the reinstallation of the operating system, these rights of use are lost. See Running the application after a key module failure.

12.2 Operation
12.2-1 Configuring the programming terminal
The programs are delivered with a hardware key module or a diskette key module containing the rights of use. This key module is called the original key module.
B
Before using the protected programs, the user must perform the steps described in this section.
C
Transfer rights of use
To use a number of different programs simultaneously, it is recommended to combine their rights of use on a single hardware key module and then on the hard disk (for hardware key modules) or on the hard disk (for diskette key modules). This operation is called Transfer Rights of Use. A right of use can only be transferred from an original key module.
With hardware key modules, once the transfer has been completed, a single key module, called an original key module, contains all the rights of use; the other key modules then become empty key modules.

12.2-2 Using the programming terminal
Once the rights of use have been transferred to a single original key module, it is strongly recommended that a backup key module be made.
This operation creates a backup key module,which the user should store in a safe place, and makes it possible to start using the programming terminal with the working key module.

The backup key module is created using an initially empty key module.
Note :
The reverse operation, called Restore the rights of use, regenerates an original key from a working key module and a backup key module.
For easy handling of the rights of use on a hardware working key module, on a diskette key module or on both these media, the user is strongly advised to transfer the rights of use onto the hard disk. The hardware working key module and/or the diskette key module then become(s) a backup working key module and the programming terminal runs using the

C
A program can only be started if its right of use is on the hard disk.
In addition, regular checks are made during program operationto ensure this right of use is is present.
In case of failure, the program informs the user that his application must be saved and the programming terminal correctly and completely shut down(*). After approximately 10 minutes, the program stops running, making it impossible to save any data.
(*) Under OS/2, all open tasks should be closed before powering down the system.
The backup key module and the backup working key module should be kept in a safe place. They do not allow use of the rights they contain directly but let the user:
• Create a help key module providing 200 hours of operation for running the programming terminal until new key modules are available.
• Prove the rights of use were inoperative during any hard disk failure.

12.2-3 Running the application after a key module failure
In the event of a failure and despite the care taken during the design and production of the key modules, creating a help key module will guarantee continued use of the programs during the troubleshooting phase.
The help key module supports 200 hours of operation of the programs whose rights of use it contains, i.e. approximately 25 eight-hour working days. The time decrement is in steps of 15 minutes (each time a program, whose rights of use are contained in the help key module, is used for 15 minutes, the working life of the key module is reduced by 15 minutes).
When the 200 hours available are used up, the help key module can no longer be used.
As soon as a fault is detected on a working key module, the user should :
• Save the work in progress,
• Recover the backup key module associated with the failed working key module, and an empty key module,
• Create a help key module (Create action). On completion of this operation:
the backup key module will become an inhibited key module, no longer able to generate help key modules,
the empty key module becomes the help key module,
• Return the failed working key module and the inhibited key module to the manufacturer.

12.4-7 Increment action
The increment action, together with an incremental key module and an original key
module containing the rights of use for version n of a program, allows the user to create a new original key module with the rights of use for the same program at version n+1.
This action therefore allows the user to update existing programs (e.g. upgrading from
X-TEL version V4 to V5). The user can also perform this action from an incremental
diskette key module and from the hard disk.
With hardware key modules, insert the following key modules in slots A and B:
• The incremental key module,
• The original key module containing the initial right of use of the program at version level n.
The screen below shows the status of the two key modules prior to running the increment action :

Preparation of the software keys
Use the X-TEL "KEY MANAGER" function described in the X-TEL V52 software workshop manual
(TXT DM XTEL V52E) section C-9 to process the software keys.
The TXT P XTL V52E complete PACK kit or the TXT K XTL V52 PASS kit :
These kits contain a TXT P XTL V52 protection key and a TSX SLC 02 blank key.
A working key and a backup key must be created by :
• inserting the protection and the blank key in slots A and B of the station or of the key support,
• save (Backup function) the protection key (original key) to the blank key,
Result : the original key becomes the working key for the station and the blank key becomes the backup key,
• keep the backup key in a safe place.
All the software can now be started from this station.

The V4x ->V52 (TXT RKP XTL V52E) update kit :
This kit contains 2 protection keys TXT RK PL7 3 V5 (containing the PL7-3V52 rights) and TXT RKP
XTL V52 (containing the rights of the other V52 software), moreover you must have the working key for the station with V4x software and its backup key.
A new working key containing the V52 rights and a backup key must be created by :
• inserting the V4x working key and the backup key in slots A and B of the station or of the key support,
• restoring the rights (Restore) of the backup key for the station to its working key,
Result : the working key becomes the original key for the station again and the backup key becomes a blank key,
• leaving the original key in the station,
• inserting successively the 2 keys of the update kit and for each one selecting the rights which they contain and transferring them (Transfer or increment function) to the original key,
Result : the 2 keys of the update kit become blank and the original key contains the V52 rights.
• save (Backup function) the original key to one of the blank keys,
Result : the original key becomes the working key for the station and the blank key becomes the backup key,
• keep the backup key in a safe place.
All the software can now be started from this station.

The V5->V52 (TXT RP XTL V52E) update kit :
This kit contains a TXT RP XTL V52 protection key. The execution rights of the V52 software are the same as those for V5 software. If the working key for the station already contains all the execution rights of the update kit software, there is nothing to do : the working key for the station is already created. Otherwise, the missing rights must be transferred by :
• inserting the working and the backup keys in slots A and B of the station or of the key support,
• restoring the rights (Restore function) of the station backup key to its working key,
Result : the working key becomes original key again and the backup key becomes a blank key,
• leaving the original key in the station,
• inserting the TXT RP XTL V52 update kit protection key, selecting the rights which it contains and transferring them (Transfer function) to the original key,
Result : the update kit key becomes blank and the original key contains the V52 rights.
• saving (Backup function) the original key to one of the blank keys,
Result : the original key becomes the working key for the station and the blank key becomes the backup key,
• keep the backup key in a safe place.
All the software can now be started from this station.
General compatibility rules
Compatibility of workshops in relation to the function and application levels :
• A V52 station provides programming and operation of V5 applications on TSXV5/PMXV5 type stations with V5 functions.
The software workshop functions are level V52 but the PL7 applications remain at level V5 for
V5 stations.
PL7-3 applications on V5 stations remain at level V5 or can be changed by PL7-3, if necessary, to level V52.
• A V52 station provides programming and operation of V4 (or V3) applications on TSXV4/PMXV4
(TSXV3) type stations with V4 (or V3) functions.
Software workshop functions are level V52 but PL7 applications remain at level V4 on V4 stations and at level V3 for the V3 stations.
V4 applications can be changed to level V5 by copying/pasting the PL7 function icons of the V4 stations to the V5 stations. Some preparation is required before using this copying procedure (the complete procedure is described in the X-TEL V52 software workshop manual (TXT DM XTEL
V52E).
• While an application remains at level V4 on a V4 station, it can still be processed by V4, V42, V5 and V52 workshops; in this case, the V52 workshop simply offers additional working comfort and improved productivity.
The procedures for application migration are developed for :
- all software in the X-TEL and MINI X-TEL software workshop installation manuals (TXT L BASE
V5E and TXT L BJR V5E- part A - Section 3.5),
- each tool or function in the corresponding installation manual.

Required configuration
X-TEL V6 and its software is designed to run under OS/2 version 2.1, 3.0 WARP Red and 3.0 WARP Blue.
The use of these operating systems requires machines based on a 386 microprocessor as a minimum. However, it is recommended that 486 based PCs be used in order to use the software continuously.
X-TEL runs in VGA or higher (eg. SVGA, XGA, etc.) graphics mode.
It is recommended that the station be equipped with a two-button mouse pointing device.
The minimum recommended configuration is a 486 SX25 based PC with:
• at least 8 Mb of RAM memory for a standalone station,
• at least 12 Mb of RAM memory if the station is on a network, or Windows applications are launched under OS/2 or PL7-3 V6 is launched.
• 100 Mb available on hard disk.
Check that the SWAPATH variable in the CONFIG.SYS file has the following parameters : 2048 and 20480 (or greater). The first figure shows the minimum value of available disk space before a warning message signals lack of space. The second figure shows the initial size of the SWAP file.
If the CD ROM medium is used, the station must have an integral drive or at least be equipped with an external CD ROM drive.

2 Installation on a local station
2.1
General
The installation procedure for software packages is standard, whatever the type of package installed and whatever medium is used, diskettes or CD ROM (with the exception of PMXVIEW packages, the installation of which is described in the manual associated with this software).
The difference between the packages, apart from their type of use, is the presence of the X-TEL software workshop in the package.
A software package containing X-TEL may be installed on any station equipped with the
OS/2 system. This is the case for XTEL PACK, PL7-22 PACK and DIAG PACK.
Conversely, products not supplied with X-TEL must be installed on a station on which the X-TEL workshop has already been installed. This is the case for MMI37 PACK,
MMI37 DIAG PACK, NET PACK, CAD PACK, XTEL-DOc, SIMACTEL and SIMACTEL
EXTENSION.
The default selection of the software to be installed from the pack depends on the contents of the software keys present on the station at the time of installation.

Installation of the software and drivers will only be taken into account when the station is next restarted.
• Reinitialize now ends the installation and immediately restarts the station in order to take into account the newly installed software and drivers.

Updating software
If the station is already equipped with X-TEL workshop software, the installation proceeds to update it.
An "Update" warning in the top right hand corner of the installation option selection screen informs the user of this operation. The selected software is automatically installed in place of that already on the station.
A function non regression check is performed before the installation option selection screen is displayed. If a software version previous to that present on the station is found in any of the software selected for installation, a dialog box appears, suggesting that the user either retains the software on the station or replaces it with the one in the package.

Access and initialization command
At start-up, the operating system displays the desktop with its contents represented by icons.
Click on the Telemecanique icon to open the appropriate window which contains the various X-TEL applications.

3 Installation on a server
3.1
Section reserved for the network administrator
Installation on a server makes it possible to install X-TEL on a disk which can be accessed by various stations and then to use X-TEL from the client stations via the shared disk. Installation on the client station does not require diskettes.
To do this, the user must have full knowledge of the network architecture.
• Network software supported
- Network with a disk manager.
- Network with client software under OS/2.
- Network which manages the access rights by user or user group.
- Network offering an NDIS interface if coexistence with ETHWAY is required.
LAN MANAGER, LAN SERVER, NOVELL, LANTASTIC and NFS software have the required characteristics.
• Recommended client stations
- PC compatible with 486 processor.
- RAM memory: minimum 12 Mb for X-TEL and network software .
- OS/2 installed on drive C:
• Access rights for XPROSYS
- 3 user "groups":
GRU1 : The network administrators which assign access and resources.
GRU2 : The X-TEL administrators which have the right to modify the versions of the installed X-TEL tools.
GRU3 : The X-TEL clients using the X-TEL tools which have been installed.
- 2 file groups:
GRF1 : Read only files (RXA).
GRF2 : Read/Write files (RWCDXA).
The table below shows the rights to be assigned to each directory (eg. LANMANAGER).
By directory we mean a directory, its sub-directories and the files they contain.

Installation of the server station
The installation of the server station is launched in the same way as a normal installation:
• open an OS/2 window (from the INVITES folder in the OS/2 folder on the desktop),
• insert the installation disk 1/n or the CD ROM in the drive,
• enter the A:/SETUP command (for a set of diskettes) or
<DRIVE>:/SETUP (for a CD ROM, eg. E:/SETUP).
After the initial screen, the screen for selecting languages and the user information screen, choose custom installation. The installation option selection screen appears.
• The option of installation on a server station is displayed in the top left hand corner of the screen, tick the box using the mouse or the space bar on the keyboard.
• Then launch the installation in the same way as a normal installation.

Preparing the client station
The client station must be prepared only when the server is operational and the X-TEL workshop is closed:
• open an OS/2 window (from the INVITES folder in the OS/2 folder on the desktop),
• enter the M:/SETUP command (where M represents the network drive of the server disk).
Diskettes or CD-ROM are not required to prepare the client station as all the software is on the server station.
Installation copies the necessary communication drivers onto the client station and modifies the CONFIG.SYS file in order to set the access path to the server station.
If tools are added to the server station at a later date, it will be possible to use them on the client station.
