Echelon IzoT NodeBuilder - Manual (Page 57)

CT displays a network drawing that shows the devices, functional blocks, and connections in your
network.
IzoT CTl also displays stencils that contain shapes that you can drag to your IzoT CT drawing.
IzoT CT includes a NodeBuilder Basic Shapes 4.00 stencil with shapes that you will use to add
new devices, functional blocks, and connections to your network drawing. The NodeBuilder
Basic Shapes 4.00 stencil contains shapes that can be used with any device. You can also create
custom stencils with shapes customized for your devices and networks.
The NodeBuilder Basic Shapes 4.00 stencil contains two shapes that you will use to define your
devices during development. They are the Development Target Device shape and the Release
Target Device shape. These special device types help distinguish between other devices on the
network and the target devices used by the IzoT NodeBuilder tool. The IzoT NodeBuilder tool
allows you to create a mixed network of development hardware (FT 6000 EVB or LTM-10A
Platforms), release hardware (your own hardware), and other devices.
4. Drag a Development Target Device shape from the NodeBuilder Basic Shapes 4.00 stencil to
your network drawing. You can drop the shape anywhere, but a good location is just below the
Channel 1 shape on your drawing.
5. The New Device Wizard opens. In the Device Name property, enter NB Device, and then select
the Commission Device check box. Verify that IzoT NB Example Device is selected in the
NodeBuilder Device Template box.
