Device Information Window

The Device Information window consists of three tabs: General, Parameters, and I/O Data.

General

The General tab shows the device basic information and related EDS file information.

• Device Information—Shows the device identity information, catalog number, version number, and serial number. Name contains the product name and product code. Vendor contains the vendor name and vendor ID. Type contains the device type name and type code.
• EDS Information—Shows the related EDS file information. (NULL) is shown if you do not add the device EDS file.

Parameters

The Parameters tab shows the parameter list and parameter description. The tab is empty if you do not add the device EDS file.

• Category—You can show all parameters by selecting [All Parameters] or a subset of parameters in a category by selecting the related category.
• Parameters—The parameter list. You can view or edit the details of a specific parameter value by double-clicking it.

• Parameter Information—The selected parameter information including the description, value range, enumeration meaning list, and engineering value calculation formula.

I/O Data

• Supported I/O—Shows the device-supported I/O connection.
• I/O Information—The selected I/O connection information including the description and Number of Significant Bits. For example, Number of Significant Bits = 2 means that bit 0 and bit 1 are valid bits. This parameter is empty if you do not add the device EDS file.
