subsequent functional block with the same name for the same
device, the instance number is incremented by one.
For example, the default name of a new functional block created
from a digital output functional block master SmartShape named
“LED” would be “LED” if it was the only one named as such for
the assigned device. If a copy of the LED functional block was
created and assigned to the same device, the default name would
be “LED 1”. A second copy would be named “LED 2”, and so on.
If a functional block is created by dragging the generic functional
block master SmartShape to the OpenLNS CT drawing, the default
functional block name is the programmatic name of the functional
block.
OpenLNS CT by default inserts the name of the associated device
and a period before the functional block name in the OpenLNS CT
drawing. Therefore, if the first digital output functional block
named “LED” in the previous example was created for a device
named “DO- 1”, the default functional block name would actually
be “DO- 1.LED”. The second functional block named “LED”
assigned to that same device would be “DO- 1.LED- 1”, and so on.
To enable or disable this feature for all new OpenLNS CT network
designs or for an existing OpenLNS CT network design, set or
clear the Include Device Name in Default FB Name check box in
the Network Properties: Functional Block options category as
described in Appendix A.
To change the default naming convention for all new OpenLNS
CT network designs or for an existing OpenLNS CT network, set
options in the Network Properties: Naming options category as
described in Appendix A.
Number of FBs
Create Enter the number of functional blocks to be created. When more
than one functional block is created, the additional functional
blocks will retain the same name as the first, and will be assigned
to other devices in the same subsystem. For example, if the first
functional block is assigned to Device 1, the second will be
assigned to Device 2. If a matching device does not exist, you will
be prompted to select the device.
Create all Network
Variables Shapes Select this check box to automatically create SmartShapes for all
network variables defined in the functional block.
You can add unassigned network variables after the functional
block has been created if this check box is cleared.
Dynamic FBs
Create all Mandatory
NVs Select this check box to automatically create all mandatory
network variables defined in the functional profile for a dynamic
functional block. The network variables are created in the
OpenLNS network database.
To create the SmartShapes in your OpenLNS CT drawing, select
the Create all Network Variables Shapes check box.
Create all Optional
NVs Select this check box to automatically create all optional network
variables defined the functional profile for a dynamic functional
block. The network variables are created in the OpenLNS network
database.
