Instantly online, instantly viewed, instantly tested The I/Oassistant provides you with a universal tool that supports you interactively throughout the planning and implementation stage of your XI/ON system. First of all, you need to create and structure a project on screen. To do this, you select gateways, electronics/base modules and the appropriate accessories. Then you configure the individual stations either offline or online. Once everything is set to your satisfaction, you can put the cpmplete system into operation.

The I/Oassistant checks the station, reads in process data, outputs values and visualises the diagnostics data of the channels. In this way you can commission your station without a higher-level controller and ensure that sections of the system are operating correctly.

Interactive project design

The I/Oassistant offers you visual and interactive support during the entire system planning and implementation process. You start the engineering with a structured project tree that you can check on screen at any time and modify as required. Then you select for each station the gateway required for the fieldbus to be used and add the required modules using drag and drop. Already at this stage, you receive active support from the software, for example, by the automatic display of the base modules that are suitable for the electronics modules selected.

/Oassistant also checks whether the structure of the station is correct. The software shows you, as early as in the design phase, whether the physical structure of the station is complete. In this way, planning errors can be prevented right from the start.

Once the planning has been completed, the software can generate a detailed project documentation that includes an overview picture and parts lists.

I/Oassistant – the universal commissioning and diagnostics tool

This lets you check online what is going on. With actual process data and parameter states, you will obtain a fast overview of the current status of the station.

Errors are indicated immediately on screen via the red Error LED. You then simply move to the diagnostics window and locate the problem at a glance. On the spot diagnostics cannot be faster or more effective.

You set the outputs and modify values directly from the PC. By forcing the values you can instantly view the behaviour of your application.
You can thus check the field wiring, for example, without having a fully installed control system - function testing as it should be.
