Adapt TVDA Template
Device Modules in General
Overview
The Device Modules out of the TVDA Device Module Library are represented by Function
Templates within SoMachine. They are especially created for the TVDA project template.
Device Modules are available for all functional units implemented in the different TVD architectures.
By definition functional units in the extent of Device Modules are all sorts of field devices controlled
(connected) in various ways by the controller.
All required SoMachine application content, beginning with integrating the device to the hardware configuration up to integration of all needed program code is provided.
Each Device Module comes with its own global variable definition and helps to ensure consistency within the application.
During the device module insertion process, the software prompts you to assign the required configuration such as addresses, names, variable assignment to I/Os, and parameter assignment.
(Refer to Add Device Module ( see page 228 ) .)
Each Device Module provides a ready to use interface within the application program to control the device and to monitor its status.
