A single configuration software for all VT products.
These the main features of VTWIN
- projects can swap terminals
- on line help, menus and manuals in 5 languages
- for Windows® 9x/NT/2000/ME/XP/7
- configuration cables for all terminals
- detailed hardware and software manuals (PDF format)
MPI and ETHERNET download
The project, firmware, recipes etc. can be transferred using the
connection with the Ethernet or MPI network, thereby making the
connection simpler and faster. The advantages of this kind of transfer
are:
- Rapid transfer (up to 187,5 kbit/s)
- The MPI network terminals do not need to be disconnected
- Automatic entry into download mode (operator need do nothing)
32 project languages
Projects can be created containing 32 languages (including Asian,
Cyrillic, Greek etc. characters) and different sets to be transferred
can be defined according to the nature of the application.
Import Export of translations and variables in CSV format
This function allows variables and translations to be exported into
files that can easily be edited using Excel or a text-editor. Once
edited, the file can be re-imported and VTWIN will automatically
associate the translations, while the variables will be immediately
available to be used to create new project components.
Importing variables from STEP 7
The (symbolic) variables created in Siemens® STEP 7 software can
simply be exported from a STEP 7 project and then important into a VTWIN
project. This makes it possible to define the variables only in the PLC
project and then use them in VTWIN without any need for re-definition,
thus saving time and avoiding possible transcription errors.
Separate downloader
When an operator terminal is installed for a customer, it may require
a modification of the project. If the customer is a long way from where
the project is developed, there may be difficulties in updating the
application. Using the separate download function you can create a set
of diskettes or a file folder containing all the changes madethat can
then be sent via email, floppy, etc. Without needing to have or know
VTWIN, the files will be installed and, using a menu accompanied by a
full step-by-step video guide, it will be possible to update the
operator terminal.
Teleservice
With the Siemens® Teleservice pack available and with the benefit of
this new function implemented on VTWIN, it will be possible to give the
customer assistance at a distance. Thus all the update functions of the
terminal connected to the MPI
network can be easily carried out using the office terminal.
