Dialog Use existing PLC addresses blockwise

In this dialog, you re-use the selected PLC connection point addresses that have not yet been used (in the overview or the schematic).

Overview of the main dialog elements:

To:

The selected, placed PLC connection points and the function templates are displayed in this table. The connection points are sorted in their graphical order in the schematic. It does not matter whether the connection points were selected in the graphical editor or in a navigator.

If addresses have been assigned to the function templates, then these become unplaced functions.

If placements of the same PLC connection point using different representation types (multi-line, single-line, etc.) are selected, then only one entry will appear in the table for this. If the addresses of these placements using different representation types are different, then the <<...>> character string is displayed in the table.

If PLC connection points occur multiple times in the project with the same representation type (with the same DT and connection point designation) then they are also listed multiple times in the table.

From:

The PLC addresses that you have selected for re-use are displayed in this table. The addresses are sorted by CPU and connection point designation. The table is empty when the dialog is first called up.

Toolbar:
