Abstract
A commissioning method, tool and computer-readable storage media for an industrial device are proposed. A commissioning method for an industrial device includes: determining application type of the industrial device; displaying at least one macro relevant to the application type determined for a user to choose. A displayed macro includes a set of defined parameters of the industrial device relevant to the application type determined. Finally, the commissioning method includes receiving the choice of the user on macro.

A commissioning method for an industrial device, comprising:
- determining control type of the industrial device;
- determining application type of the industrial device;
- displaying, on a display screen, at least one macro relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined, for the user to choose, and wherein a displayed macro includes a set of defined parameters of the industrial device relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined;
- receiving a macro chosen by a user from the displayed at least one macro relevant to the control type determined and the application type determined;
- displaying, in a way of hardware layout, defined terminals of the industrial device to be set according to the macro chosen, wherein input terminals are displayed on a left side of the display screen and output terminals are displayed on a right side of the display screen, and for each respective defined terminal of the defined terminals of the industrial device, displaying a respective defined default function value in the macro chosen, and showing only functions related to the macro chosen;
- receiving user selected settings for the defined terminals;
- and configuring the industrial device based on the macro chosen relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined.
A commissioning tool for an industrial device, comprising:
- at least one memory, configured to store executable instructions;
- and at least one processor, coupled to the at least one memory, and upon execution of the executable instructions, configured to:
- determine control type of the industrial device;
- determine application type of the industrial device;
- display, on a display screen, at least one macro relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined, for the user to choose, and wherein a displayed macro includes a set of defined parameters of the industrial device relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined;
- receive a macro chosen by a user from the displayed at least one macro relevant to the control type determined and the application type determined;
- display, in a way of hardware layout, defined terminals of the industrial device to be set according to the macro chosen, wherein input terminals are displayed on a left side of the display screen and output terminals are displayed on a right side of the display screen, and for each respective defined terminal of the defined terminals of the industrial device, displaying a respective defined default function value in the macro chosen, and showing only functions related to the macro chosen;
- receive user selected settings for the defined terminals;
- and configuring the industrial device based on the macro chosen relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing executable instructions, which upon execution by a computer, enables the computer to execute at least:
- determining control type of an industrial device;
- determining application type of the industrial device;
- displaying, on a display screen, at least one macro relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined, for the user to choose, and wherein a displayed macro includes a set of defined parameters of the industrial device relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined;
- receiving a macro chosen by a user from the displayed at least one macro relevant to the control type determined and the application type determined;
- displaying, in a way of hardware layout, defined terminals of the industrial device to be set according to the macro chosen, wherein input terminals are displayed on a left side of the display screen and output terminals are displayed on a right side of the display screen, and for each respective defined terminal of the defined terminals of the industrial device, displaying a respective defined default function value in the macro chosen, and showing only functions related to the macro chosen;
- receiving user selected settings for the defined terminals;
- and configuring an industrial device based on the macro chosen relevant to the application type determined and the control type determined.
