You can jump between navigation window and table editor by pressing <F6>.
Note!
Parameter lists also can be created resp. filled with entries via pragmas which are
included in variable declarations.
In online mode you can load the lists, you have created before, to the currently
connected target system. You also can use the Parameter Manager functions to access
them there for the purpose of data exchange with other systems (write values,
upload). Furtheron in the Parameter Manager window you can monitor the current
values of the parameters. If currently no online connection is established, the
parameter lists just can be created locally and saved with the project.
Parameter List Types
The Parameter Manager can handle the following parameter list types:
Variables: The entries in parameter lists of this type represent process variables of
the project.
Parameters: The entries in parameter lists of this type represent parameters whose
values are not attached by the process.
System parameters: The entries in parameter lists of this type represent data
which are not attached by the process and which are determined by the target
system. System Parameter lists cannot be deleted or renamed.
Template: A template does not contain parameter entries which can be directly
accessed for the purpose of data exchange. In fact the entries provide a "basic
attribute configuration" for the components of a functionblock or a structure. Thus a
template can be used in parameters lists of type 'Instance'.
Instance: The entries in parameter lists of this type represent parameter entries for
variables which are of type of the a functionblock or structure, that means which are
instances or structure variables. For an easy entering of the parameters a template is
used, which has also been created in the Parameter Manager before.
Mappings: This list type is only available, if supported by the target system. The
entries represent process variables which are intended to be used in the PDO mapping
of a CAN-Device. So mapping lists basically are "Variables" lists, but they are working
on a separate index/subindex range. This range must be defined in the target
settings, category Network functionality ! In this case a CAN-Device, which is
configured in the PLC Configuration, only will use the entries of list type 'Mapping',
while otherwise all entries of variables or instances lists will be available in the PDO
mapping dialog.
