Once the connection to the controller has been successfully established and the address book has been generated, the symbols are loaded and can be selected in the symbol browser.
Open the symbol browser by clicking on the Select symbols link in the General tab of the HiPAC request module. Since the HiPAC controllers are based on Codesys, the Codesys symbol browser opens as it is also used with the Codesys-Xplorer interface.
In the Symbols tab, you can select individual or multiple symbols in the tree. Clicking on <Add> inserts the symbols in the corresponding signal tree (analog or digital).
If you have selected a single symbol, the next symbol will be selected after you have clicked on <Add>. This allows you to add consecutive symbols by clicking <Add> several times.
Double-click on the symbol to transfer it to the signal table.
The symbols are reloaded from the PLC with <Update symbols>.
You can search for symbols by name in the Search tab. The handling and selection in the search results tree is identical to the selection in the symbol tree.
You can also open the symbol browser in the signal tables, Analog and Digital tabs, by clicking on the browser button (<...>) in the Symbol column.

The module TDC TCP/UDP Generic supports the acquisition and processing of strings as text signals. Therefore, you can select the data type STRING[32] in the Analog tab. In order to convert a text signal or to split it up into several text signals use the text splitter module under the Virtual interface. |
