4.1 Overview
This section will guide you through the steps required to set up your Concept
Project with the PTQ-PDPMV1 module. There are a total of 6 steps required as
follows:
Step 1: Export the Files from PCB (page 106)
This step shows how to export the required files from PCB (containing function
blocks, variables and data type definitions) that will be used during this
procedure.
Step 2: Convert the Function Blocks (page 109)
The .ASC function blocks (exported at step 1) must be converted before used in
the Concept project. This step shows how to convert the function blocks from
.ASC to .DFB format.
Step 3: Set Up the Concept Project (page 113)
This step shows how to set up the Concept Project and configure the required
amount of processor memory for your application.
Step 4: Import the Variables (page 116)
This step shows how to import the variables into your Concept project by using
the .txt file (obtained at step 1). The PCB configuration will determine the
addressing of the variables.
Step 5: Create the Function Block Instances (page 119)
This step shows how to create an instance of the function blocks that were
converted at step 2. It also shows that some function block pins must be linked
with the variables that were imported at step 4.
Step 6: Download the Project to the Quantum Processor (page 126)
Once you download your project to the Quantum processor, the procedure is
completed.
After you followed these steps, you can refer to the following topics for more
information on how to perform basic tasks:
Using the Concept Project (page 127)
This section shows how to access PROFIBUS data and status information
through the imported variables. It also shows how to perform a mailbox request
from the processor.
Mailbox Overview (page 136)
This section provides a general overview of the mailbox function blocks that are
supplied as a sample application.
