Creating a NodeBuilder Project from IzoT CT
You can create a NodeBuilder project by starting the NodeBuilder Project Manager from the IzoT
Commissioning Tool. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Create or open a IzoT CT drawing. See the IzoT Commissioning User’s Guide for more
information on creating and opening IzoT CT drawings. If you will want to load the application
you develop into a device, make sure the IzoT CT computer is attached to the network.
2. Click Add-Ins, click OpenLNS CT, and then click NodeBuilder. The NodeBuilder Project
Manager starts. If you have not previously created a NodeBuilder project for this network, the
New Project wizard automatically starts.
Note: If you have previously created a project for this network and you want to create a new
project, click File and then click Create Project.
3. Enter project information into the wizard as described in steps 5–9 in the next section, Creating a
NodeBuilder Project from the NodeBuilder Project Manager.
Note: You can also start the IzoT NodeBuilder tool from the IzoT Commissioning tool’s New Device
Wizard. See Starting the IzoT NodeBuilder tool from the New Device Wizard later in this chapter for
more information on how to do this.
