general description 6.2.1.
AS a precondition for operating field devices, the device network must be represented in a PACTware project.
PACTware provides an area for this purpose where all installed DTMs are shown: The device catalog. Normally
the DTMs have the same name as the devices to facilitate control.
PACTware also provides a second area where the device network is represented: The project window. The
actual device network is represented in this project window by inserting DTMs from the device catalog. The
“HOST-PC” entry serves as the starting point for inserting a DTM. The required DTMs can be transferred from the
device catalog into the project window by double clicking or using drag and drop.
If you do not want the project window or device catalog to be visible, they can be activated in the menu
bar under "View".
If the Bürkert device DTMs are not visible in the device catalog, the device catalog must first be updated.
to update the device catalog:
Switch to the “Device catalog” window with “View / Device catalog” (F3)
→
Click “Update device catalog”
→
Confirm the question “Create new PACTware device catalog?” with YES
→
After the device catalog is opened again, the Bürkert device DTMs are present; see “
