Using Custom IzoT Commissioning Tool Master
SmartShapes
You can reuse a custom IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShape that you create (see Creating Custom
IzoT Commissioning Tool Master SmartShapes). The custom IzoT Commissioning Tool master
SmartShape may contain any number of the standard IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShapes
described in Designing IzoT Commissioning Tool Networks. The following sections describe how
IzoT Commissioning Tool processes each of the standard IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShapes
when you include them in a custom IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShape.
If you drag a master SmartShape containing multiple SmartShapes and the creation of any of the
SmartShapes fails, that SmartShape will not be added, and all subsequent SmartShapes in the master
SmartShape will not be processed.
Device Master SmartShapes
You can include one or more IzoT Commissioning Tool Device SmartShapes in a custom master
SmartShape. Each of these is called a device master SmartShape. Each device master SmartShape
includes the device template name, device interface (XIF) file name, and the configuration property
settings from the original device. The Neuron ID is not included so that you can reuse the master
SmartShape with multiple devices.
When you drag a master SmartShape that includes any device master SmartShapes to a drawing and
automatic channel selection is enabled in the Network Properties: Device options category, the
master SmartShape is added to the drawing without any wizards opening. If automatic channel
selection is disabled, the New Device Wizard opens and you select the channel for the new device.
You can select the same channel as the original device, another existing channel, or create a new
channel. If the custom master SmartShape includes multiple devices on the same channel, the Device
Wizard opens for the first device only on each channel. IzoT Commissioning Tool places all
subsequent devices that are on the same channel in the master SmartShape on the channel that you
select for the first device on the channel, and have their properties set as specified in the master
SmartShape. To manually set the channels and properties for each device, select the Force Wizard
Prompts check box in the Network Properties: General options category as described in Appendix
A.
When you drag a master SmartShape that includes a device SmartShape to a drawing, IzoT
Commissioning Tool does the following for each device master SmartShape:
1. If the master SmartShape includes a program ID in a ProgramID user cell (see Additional Device
User Cells), IzoT Commissioning Tool looks up the device template using the program ID. If the
master SmartShape does not include a program ID but includes a device template name in a
TmplName user cell (see Additional Device User Cells), it looks up the device template based on
the specified device template name.
2. If IzoT Commissioning Tool does not find a device template in step 1, it looks for the device
interface (XIF) file specified in the XifName user cell. If the device interface file is found, IzoT
Commissioning Tool looks up the device template by the program ID specified in the device
interface file. If a device template with a matching program ID is found, the user is given the
option of changing the name of the device template to the name specified by the device
SmartShape, or using the existing device template name. In either case, the existing device
template is associated with the device SmartShape.
3. If IzoT Commissioning Tool does not find a device template in steps 1 and 2, but it does find the
device interface file, it creates a new device template by importing the device interface file. IzoT
