General columns in the signal table

For a description of the general signal table columns see Columns in tables with analog and digital signals.

Symbol

In this column, you will find the symbolic name of the signal as configured in the X-Pact system. You may enter the symbol name also manually. However, it is recommended using the signal browser, as it is easier and saver.

In compliance with the naming rules in the X-Pact system the full symbol path is indicated.

Two different methods are available:

a) via the link in the General tab of the module. With this method, the signals selected from the signal browser will be put into the next free row of the signal table. This is useful if you fill the signal table for the first time or if you intend to fill up a partially filled signal table.

b) Via the small browser button in the “Symbol” column of the desired signal. With this method, you determine the exact position where a symbol has to be entered in the table.
