GF_eXpress is the software used to configure the parameters of the automation
components, drives and sensors in the Gefran catalogue.
The procedures for selecting and configuring parameters are easy and intuitive,
thanks to the graphic interface and devices are grouped according to product
type and functions.
Product searches are performed by means of a context search and a visual
selection from among actual images of the products.
This makes it possible to have a single library of devices for all Gefran products.
"GF_eXpress" PC Configuration Tool
All details for configuration of each single device are set out in XML format
to facilitate expansion of the catalogue and parameters.
The selected product can be configured as follows:
- using a sub-set of predefined parameters,
- using a guided graphic interface with context menus.
The creation of custom parameter menus with a limited sub-set of data
is envisaged, to enable better and more effective device configuration.
GF_eXpress is based on HTML technology. The graphic layout and content
are intuitive and easy to use.
The interface and descriptions of the configuration parameters are available
in multi-language format.
The use and support of UNICODE format, for multi-language management,
enables the inclusion of languages that use special characters (Chinese,
Korean, Russian, etc.).
GF_eXpress also offers the following functions:
Autoscan
Device connection parameters can be configured manually or using the
Autoscan function.
The Autoscan function automatically searches for the device connected
to the development PC, sending serial commands to identify the type and
parameters of communication.
Monitor Window
When the device is connected, the configuration pages display the value
of the single parameter in real-time.
Besides displaying the value the Monitor Window also enables parameters
to be modified in real-time.
c
Recipes
Saving and archiving a list of parameters. This function is used to manage
same configurations on different devices or the transfer of configurations
between different users.
Oscilloscope
Simultaneous monitoring of up to 8 curves. The reference value for the
curve being displayed can be selected from among all the variables that
are available for the selected device.
Print
Prints the variables that are displayed or selected. The Print function also
includes the preview.
