Other Options in the Address Menu

Update Address verifies all the values entered for the Data Type

through to the Number of Bits and saves them in Address Map. Look
for the new address beside “Current” at the top of the Address menu. If
you made a mistake entering a new address, an error message is
displayed when you choose Update Address.

Change Preset sets the initial value of the PLC address that is used

after PanelBuilder downloads the application file to PanelView.

View Address Map displays the PLC address bits allocated for all the

object, window, and PLC Control Option addresses in the application
file.

Delete Address removes the existing address from the file.

Preset shows the object’s current preset value.

Utility

Use the choices in the Utility menu to name the object being edited, and to
save a new set of default values for the object type.

Name allows you to document an application by assigning a name to

each object (with the exception of Text, Line, Box, and Symbol). To
assign a name to an object:

1.

Choose Name from the Utility menu.

2.

When prompted, type in a name. It can be up to 15 characters
long, and can include any character on your computer’s
keyboard.

These names take up space in your application file. If you want
to save space on large application files, use short names or omit
this feature altogether.

3.

Press Enter to accept the name, or Esc to cancel the operation.

Default allows you to edit each object type’s default configuration. If

you want to change the default:

1.

Edit the object to give it the attributes you want for the default.
These could include settings for size, shape, color, position, etc.
(not text).

2.

Choose Default from the Utility menu.
