7Ć15 Configuring Variables
Search String: Can be any character string that is a part
of the name of the selected variables. The wildcard
character (*) can be used as the first or last character of
the Search String. Do not enter the variable type character.
Replace String: Can be any character string (variable
names are limited to 16 characters). If a wildcard character
(*) was used in the Search String, it must also appear here
in the same relative position.
Step 4. (Network module only) Select the search mode.
Local List: Substitute variable names in local list only, i.e.,
variables in this rack.
NetworkĆwide List: Substitute variable names in
NetworkĆwide list only.
Local and NetworkĆwide Lists: Substitute all variable
names.
Step 5. If you want to make the substitution for all variables in the
list/view that match the search string (not just the matching
variables in the selected items), select Substitute ALL
items in the view.
Step 6. Select OK to make the character substitution in the
variable names.
Step 7. Select Accept to update the database.
7.7.7 Linking NetworkĆWide and Local Names
The Link command is available when the network module form with
networkĆwide and local names is displayed. This command will link
local names to networkĆwide names for all the selected registers. This
command has the same result as selecting each item individually and
checking the Linked" option. For a given register, if there is only a
networkĆwide name and description, it is copied to the local name
and description and they are linked. If there is only a local name and
description, it is copied to the networkĆwide name and description
and they are linked. If both names exist and they are the same data
type, they are linked.
Use the following procedure to link multiple networkĆwide and local
names.
Step 1.
Select the registers/bits for which you want to link
networkĆwide and local names. See 4.6 for instructions on
making multiple selections.
Step 2. Select Link from the Variables menu.
7.7.8 Selecting All Variables
Select All will select all variables in the current view. You can then
execute any of the available commands (copy, clear, auto name,
substitute) for all the selected variables.
7.8 GoTo Menu
Use the GoTo menu to select the type and range of variables
displayed for the module during configuration. You can also search
for variables by name from the GoTo menu.
