CREATE AND CONNECT LIST BLOCKS

Define parameters for configured and Modbus lists blocks and then connect
attributes using visible or wireless connections to the block. A configured list
block is used to specify and/or collect data that is of interest to an external
system. If a block or connection to a list is deleted after a connection is made,
the list field will return to NONE. The Configured List block “finds” its
connections after they are made by opening and entering the block.

Configured List or Modbus List Variable Entry
Connect the desired attribute of some block to one of 99 inputs of this block.
The block tag name and attribute name for all current connections are shown.
Enter an alias or delete a connection as shown below. An alias is used to
shorten the name of an attribute being included in an interface file ("TIF" or
"MIF"). To include another list in this list, connect the "LISTOUT" attribute of
the desired list to an input of this list. Note that if this list is used to collect
Modbus data, it cannot include another list.

Configured List Collect Data
If this list, or any included list, is used as a foreground list for a ICN or MSC
module block, or as a Modbus list for a MSC module block, then you must
enter YES. If this list is used solely to specify data to be included in an
interface file ("TIF" or "MIF"), then buffer space can be saved by entering NO.

Select field to
get attribute
path list.

Enter an alias if you wish or delete the connection.
