Topology
This visually illustrates the interdependencies among the individual components of the program package (see 8 Overview) and the individual functions that they provide.
Position | Area | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 | Field Bus Configurators | The individual fieldbus configurators represent an input parameter for the WAGO Solution Builder software. The software currently supports the following fieldbus configurators:
You can open the individual configurators directly from the WAGO Solution Builder software to perform fieldbus-specific tasks in the network. |
2 | WAGO Solution Builder Plug-in for application templates | Additional optional input variables are available for the WAGO Solution Builder software:
The WAGO Solution Builder Plug-in software can be used to create application templates in advance in an IEC development environment (CODESYS/e!COCKPIT) and then import them into the WAGO Solution Builder software. The WAGO Tool Gateway Service software acts as the background service, functioning as an internal interface. |
3 | WAGO Tool Gateway Service (TGS) | The WAGO Tool Gateway Service software forms an internal interface between the two input variables and the WAGO Solution Builder software. During installation, the WAGO Tool Gateway Service software is added to the Windows autostart applications, so it launches when Windows boots up. The icon on the Windows taskbar indicates the service that is running. |
4 | WAGO Solution Builder | WAGO Solution Builder is integrated engineering software for building automation with WAGO components. In the Software area, you can create various customer projects (called “solutions”) and use application templates from the IEC development environment that have been created. |
5 | WAGO Device Communication Service (DCS) | The WAGO Device Communication Service software is an external interface for interconnected fieldbus controllers. The software is launched as a Windows service and executes individual job-based actions on the fieldbus controllers. |
