The PLC manager offers a simple way of showing PLC modules with their classifications. Whereas the main module gives a general overview, the individual inputs and outputs (side modules) can be used either singly or in groups in the circuit diagram.
The PLC manager has the following features:
Project-related selection of the PLC modules from a database.
Automatic monitoring of connections and automatic allocation of connection numbers and descriptions.
Clear depiction of all existing connections.
Handling of two information texts per channel (symbol and comment).
Depiction of cross-reference, comment text and symbol text on main and side modules.
On-line allocation of cross-reference for main module.
Input and display on circuit diagram of PLC list.
Output of PLC list for programming
A main module has the allocator sps-m and the component type is main element.
A side module has the allocator sps-s and the component type is side element.
In text 2 of the Symbol parameters there is an allocator sps-byte which may have additional numbers.
The allocator sps-adr is so present, with additional numbers.
In accordance with the rules for text allocators, the component allocators have to be given labels for invisibility, assignment and formatting. There are strict rules for creating a PLC symbol.
