The channel designation and the plug designation can be manually entered or automatically assigned at the PLC connection points. During automatic assignment the corresponding values are determined from the graphical arrangement of the PLC connection points. If an automatic assignment of a channel designation and / or plug designation is not desired for certain PLC connection points, you can prevent this by using the new properties Channel designation (automatic): Suppress search (ID 20578) and Plug designation (automatic): Suppress search (ID 20579).
Benefit:
By using the new properties for PLC connection points you can prevent the automatic assignment of a channel designation and / or plug designation.
If the Channel designation (automatic): Suppress search property is activated at a PLC connection point, the Channel designation (automatic) property remains empty if no manual value for the channel designation was entered.
The same behavior applies for the properties Plug designation (automatic): Suppress search and Plug designation (automatic).
