4.9 EDM Tool

The EDM Tool is a utility that is always installed with the other EDM components. The tasks of the

EDM Tool are as follows:

● It monitors the status of the EDM Service and checks the integrity of the EDM configuration

files.

● It also allows the line engineer to enter comments for new notifications when installed on the

Line Server.

● It displays the confirmation dialog box in push mode.

● The tool may also be used to enter the comment on a different workstation from the Line

Server if installed on another workstation.

5 Operation under Windows Vista® and Windows 7®

These more recent operating systems have resulted in a number of minor changes for EDM.

5.1 Separation of installation files and variable data in the file system

Starting with the Windows Vista® operating system, Microsoft introduced separate subfolders for

"fixed" program files and data liable to change. As of Version 1.7, EDM takes account of this

change and creates the two subfolders logs and templateStorage in the

%ProgramData%\Siemens SIPLACE\SIPLACE EDM\ folder.

5.2 Restarting the EDM service

The EDM Tool provides a Restart EDM Service command. The user access control (UAC) facility

introduced in Windows Vista requests restricted administrators to grant enhanced permissions

before the service is restarted by the operating system. A regular user has the option of logging in

as an administrator temporarily to restart the EDM service.

6 Restrictions

The following restrictions apply to EDM:

● Always avoid changing data on the Line Server during a data transfer from the Master Server.

For technical reasons, such changes cannot be logged. As a result your data may become

inconsistent.

● When a component shape changes, it is possible that two change notifications are placed in

the Clearing Pool, one for the component shape and one for the corresponding Vision data

object. These duplicate notifications are usually handled by the filter configuration. The

complexity of the various relationships means that the default settings may not be fully

sufficient.

● Angle values can be displayed in radians at some places in the Clearing Pool.

● Sometimes, the SIPLACE Pro notification system displays superfluous comment windows. If

this error occurs repeatedly, the filter configuration should be adjusted.

● When transferring data from the Master Server to the Line Server to an empty database, you

have to import the system fiducials 250-252 manually using the LCU import or EDM. If the

system fiducials are not imported before the download is performed, the download will fail.

● A license is required on the Line Server. This license must be entered in the SIPLACE License

Manager before installing EDM. If the license is missing, the EDM Service will not start and the

EDM Tool will display an error message.

● Ensure that no objects are open in SIPLACE Pro Desk before you import changes in the

Clearing Pool. The reason is a known issue in SIPLACE Pro concerning updating objects that

are part of another object. If you do not follow this recommendation, it may appear that

changes are not received in the SIPLACE Pro Desk of the EDM Master because the Desk does

not show the changes. You may receive error messages if you change the object in question

on the Desk. You must therefore always close all objects in SIPLACE Pro Desk prior to the

import. A workaround is to restart SIPLACE Pro Desk.

● Extended Difference Editor:

–

The Extended Difference Editor does not show any of the changes made when evaluating

station Vision data. If a component shape was changed only by teaching new station Vision

data, all other fields remain empty. Only the check box for accepting changes to Vision data

will be shown. Vision data will nevertheless be imported if the corresponding check box is

checked

(Clearing Pool - Difference Editor -Component / Component Shape / Fiducial).

If fiducial data is changed in the EDM Client (MC number, type) and if the check box for

fiducial types is checked under the Difference Editor in the Clearing Pool, it is not possible

to import the new data. The import works without the Difference Editor.

– If you assign a new feeder to a component or to a component shape, the feeder with all its

individual attributes is marked correctly as changed (red) in the Difference Editor. The

button to accept one attribute

is already enabled, but the use of the button has

no effect. To accept the feeder with all its individual attributes, first click the feeder name

and then the

button.

Alternatively you can click the

button to accept all.

– The component barcode filter is only visible in the Difference Editor if you double-click the

icon next to the barcode name (do not double-click the barcode name itself!). The

differences between the both components are only visible in this way.
