7.5 Configuring I/O for a Foreign Module
Foreign modules are added to the rack as generic modules (GEN32,
GEN32K or GEN32KH). To configure I/O for a generic module, select
the register range and then follow the procedure described in section
7.4. Make certain that the foreign module meets the requirements in
Appendix H.
7.6 Modifying Variable Names and
Descriptions
Use the following procedure to modify variable names or
descriptions.
Step 1.
Select the register/bit that you want to change.
Step 2. Backspace over the existing text and enter the new text.
Step 3. Select another register/bit or press ENTER. The new name
and/or description will be displayed.
Step 4. When you are finished changing variable names, you can
select Accept from the Variables menu to add the new
names/ descriptions to the database. Otherwise, when
you leave the Variable Configurator, you will be prompted
to save the changes.
7.7 Variables Menu
The Variables menu consists of commands that enable you to copy,
delete, or modify variable names. You can also choose to have the
Executive software assign variable names to selected I/O points.
7.7.1 Cutting/Copying and Pasting Variable Names and
Descriptions
The names and descriptions of existing variables can be copied into
the Windows Clipboard and then can be assigned to other registers
or bits of the same type, i.e., integer to integer and boolean to
boolean. You can cut/copy and paste variables to other registers or
bits on the same module or to another module. Network register
names can be pasted only into the network module form. The
contents of the Clipboard will remain until replaced by new data the
next time the Cut or Copy command is executed or until you leave
Windows.
Variable names and descriptions can be pasted to other variables in
three ways. If a single variable name and description are copied to
the Clipboard, they can be pasted to either (1) another single
destination or (2) to multiple destinations by selecting multiple
registers. If multiple variable names and descriptions are copied to
the Clipboard, they can (3) be copied only to a single destination
which acts as the starting point for the paste. The contents of the
Clipboard can be pasted as many times as required.
Note that when a register is copied, the bits assigned to that register
are not copied. The bits for the register must be copied and pasted
as a separate operation.
