for this purpose or use the middle command bar commands Start addresses

Right side
A table which is used for the display and entry is located on the right in the PLC Manager. The display is dependent on the element selected on the right side. There are two possible views. The main element (click on the reference name) or the side element (click on the connection). The side element also shows the preview of the file, where it exists, in addition to the connection information.
Again, with the main element, there are two
views: List or Detail, which can be toggled via the menu
View / List (

List mode shows all of the connections with Comment, Symbol text, Channel, Pin numbers and Page.
Detail mode shows all of the information about the Symbol name, Function text, Address e.t.c. as well as a plan preview of where the element is located.
