Echelon IzoT Commissioning Tool - Manual (Page 15)

• Getting Started: Provides information on the planning an IzoT Commissioning Tool network
design; using the OpenLNS CT Design Manager; setting up a network interface; creating and
opening an OpenLNS CT network design; OpenLNS CT client types; using OpenLNS CT
remotely; and creating and using user profiles.
• Designing Networks: Describes how to design a network using the IzoT Commissioning Tool.
Covers how to create the following objects in an OpenLNS CT drawing: application devices,
functional blocks, network variables, routers, channels, and subsystems. Explains how to connect
network variables. Explains working with OpenLNS CT SmartShapes

and layers, customizing
the OpenLNS CT user interface, and using OpenLNS CT with AutoCAD drawings.
• Installing Networks: Describes how to install devices using the IzoT Commissioning Tool,
including how to load applications into them, set the initial state of their applications, set the
source of their configuration properties, and select how they manage device-specific configuration
properties. It also explains the different methods for acquiring device Neuron IDs and how to
alternatively use the device discovery method to install a network.
• Monitoring and Controlling Networks: Describes how you can monitor and control the devices in
your network with the IzoT Commissioning Tool. Describes the three methods you can use to
read and/or write network variables and configuration properties: using monitored connections,
browsing with the OpenLNS CT Browser, and using Data Point SmartShapes. Covers how to
bind network variables to the host in order to receive event-driven updates. Describes how to
change the types and formats of network variables and configuration properties. Explains how to
create simple HMIs in your OpenLNS CT drawing with Data Point and Visio SmartShapes.
• Maintaining Networks: Provides an overview of network maintenance tasks that you can perform
with the IzoT Commissioning Tool. Describes loading, replacing, and decommissioning devices.
Explains how to resynchronize and propagate configuration properties values. Explains how to
back up and restore an OpenLNS CT network; create an OpenLNS CT network by recovering
information from the physical network; and resynchronize the network database, OpenLNS CT
drawing, and physical devices. Explains how to merge two OpenLNS CT networks.
• Managing Networks: Explains how to test and verify application devices, functional blocks, and
routers; describes the IzoT Commissioning Tool styles; and details how to generate device status
summary reports, network resource reports, and OpenLNS network reports.
• Managing OpenLNS CT Licenses: Provides an overview of IzoT Commissioning Tool licensing.
Describes how to upgrade the IzoT Commissioning Tool, upgrade an IzoT Commissioning Tool
Standard Edition to the Professional Edition, renew your IzoT Commissioning Tool annual
maintenance contract, and transfer an IzoT Commissioning Tool license.
• Exporting and Importing a Network Using XML: Describes how to export a L
ON W ORKS network
to an IzoT Commissioning Tool network XML file; view a LONWORKS network XML file in a
Web browser; edit an IzoT Commissioning tool network XML file; and import a LONWORKS
network XML file to update a network.
• Using Plug-ins: Provides an overview of plug-ins and then describes how to start a plug-in, get
plug-in information, and re-register, enable, and disable plug-ins.
• Creating and Using IzoT Commissiong Tool SmartShapes and Stencils: Describes how to create
an IzoT Commissioning Tool stencil and create and use custom master SmartShapes for devices,
functional blocks, subsystems, and connections. Explains how to modify a master SmartShape by
changing its user-defined cells.
• Appendices: Includes the IzoT Commissioning Tool default options, a glossary, the OpenLNS CT
Software License Agreement, and the OpenLNS CT License Transfer Agreement.
