New version of the KS2000 configuration software
In version 4.0, Beckhoff are presenting a more developed version of their KS2000 configuration software. The software allows for easy parameterization and rapid diagnosis of the Bus Terminal system, and now includes the Fieldbus Box product. The KS2000 software has been completely reworked, and includes an entirely new approach to data backups based on XML. The most important innovations at a glance:
| Online monitoring: the state of an output changes with a short click on the output terminal.
| Scope function for digital and analog values simplifies setup and diagnosis.
| Ethernet bus couplers can be addressed directly from the KS2000 software using a standard Ethernet cable. Firmware can also be downloaded over Ethernet.
| If the bus stations are operated with a different type of controller it is possible to print out the Bus Terminal mapping information – making it easy to map hardware points to memory locations.
| Complex bus terminals such as the AS-i Master Terminal or the oscilloscope terminal can be parameterized easily by means of a dialog window.
