7.2 Parameter Display and Configuration with the Tool
CICT
CICT
is a menu-controlled program for PC. It is used to display parameters and configure (limited) the
CAN-CBM-DP module. It can be operated under Windows 3.11, Windows NT 4.x and Windows 95.
At the moment
CICT
only supports 11-bit CAN identifiers.
Note:
We recommend to configure the module with a PROFIBUS-configuration software (e.g.
the SIMATIC Manager). If this is not available, we recommend to edit the GSD-file via a
text editor.
This chapter explains the individual menu points of
CICT
in detail.
An application example can be found at the end of this chapter.
