9 Checking the project

Figure 45: Structured project check

After termination of the engineering work on project, before the first commissioning work
starts, even before ordering the material, it makes sense to check the whole project
structure if all requirements really have been met.

ETS can support here to a limited extent, by means of the integrated, structured checking
algorithm.

4 categories of properties are checked:

a) missing or wrong / wrong number of system devices such as power supplies,
chokes, line and area couplers. ETS will show an error for lines that have
attributed bus devices but do not have any system devices. Lines without
attributed devices are not evaluated  Device check
b) missing group address assignments (group addresses to device and vice versa).
ETS requires that a group address is at least assigned to 2 group objects, and that
one bus device has at least 1 object link to a group address  Group address
check
c) missing individual addresses (inserted devices not yet assigned to a line) 
Topology check
d) Product information check

The individual steps in detail:
