Double-click the Configuration icon. You will see the following window:
Single-click the Edit configuration button.The HW GF_Net configuration tool activates.We will use the GF_Net to define the project HW structure.We will also define the variables for the HW resources, which will be immediately available to develop the PLC programme and the Operator Interface pages.Single-click the Project icon on the tree panel.From the catalogue panel, drag the device used for the demo project (for example, GF_Vedo_EV_104CT).To drag, position the mouse pointer on the icon (GF_Vedo_EV_104CT), press the left mouse button (keep it pressed) and move the pointer until it is over the Project icon. The Project string will change colour. Release the left mouse button.The new device inserted in the project will display all of the available fieldbuses.NB: if the device has local HW, the local HW will be displayed as well.Single-click the Gdnet icon.From the catalogue panel, drag the R-ETH100 device (the same way as described above: position the mouse pointer on the R-ETH100 icon and, keeping the left mouse button pressed, move the pointer over the Gdnet icon).The R-ETH100_1 icon will be added under the GDnet icon.Single-click the R-ETH100_1 icon. At the item Node number in the configuration window, set the node number to 1.Single-click the BUS icon.The centre window will show the image of the device we are configuring.From the components catalogue, drag the R-EU16 module and position it in the first empty slot of the Bus Configuration window.Single-click the image ofthe R-EU16 card.Single-click the Input tab.Now assign the name IN_START to input1, the name IN_STOP to input2, and the name IN_EMERGENCY to input3.To do this, single-click the first square in the Label column, type IN_START, single-click the second square and type IN_STOP, single-click the third square and type IN_EMERGENCY.Double-click the Output tab.As you did for the inputs, assign the name OUT_RUN to output1.Communicate to Project the IP address of the target, the GF_Vedo_EV_104CT on which the project will be executed.Single-click the GF_Vedo_EV_104CT icon. The GF_Vedo_EV_104CT Configuration window will appear.At IP Address, enter the target IP address.Run a compilation: on the top menu select Tools and then Compile.Exit from GF_Net. Save the project if required.From the window “Available hardware” select the dispositive previously insert (Example GF_Vedo_EV_104CT) and ansie YES and OK to the two popup windows compairing.To synchronize the hardware with the current GF_Project version, it’s necessary to check the installed firmware version:Click on “Get target remote version” buttonIf the “Target firmware version” doesn’t match with the “GF_Project firmware version”, update the target clicking on the “Update firmware on target” button. Note: retained memory will be erased.In order to transfer the configuration just executed it is possible follow two way:Repeat the operation of single click on key “Edit configuration”. The configuration tool of GF_Net HW will be re-started. Execute again a compilation: on top menu select Tools and then Compile (or use directly the icon ‘Build project’. Open the Tools menu and select Downloads or use directly ‘Download configuration’ icon).Select Deployment windows directly from GF_Project and use the under-section ‘Hardware deploy’ through the checkbox and the key ‘Execute’. The system would refuse to download, requiring a transfer firmware. (See Step 5)Now, start the target again (manually or pressing the button ‘Reboot target’ present on deploy window.
