Important
This dialog is available as of version 4.1.0.0.
The tab provides the option of selecting input and output assemblies from the head station and defining their I/O layout.
Add | Opens the Add Assembly Parameter dialog. |
Delete | Deletes all selected parameters. |
Move Up Move Down | Moves the selected parameter within the list. The order in the list determines the order in the I/O mapping. |
Name Bit length Help string Unit | You can double-click in the text field to edit the values. |
Dialog: Add Assembly Parameter
Name | Name of the parameter. Used as the name of the I/O channel |
Unit | Unit of the parameter (example: 'Kelvin'). Displayed in the Unit column of the I/O mapping and is used for informational purposes. |
Help string | Help text about the parameter. Displayed in the Help String column of the I/O mapping and is used for informational purposes. |
Data type | Data type of the parameter. Corresponds to the data type of the I/O channel |
Bit length | Bit length of the parameter in the assembly The bit length is normally the length of the data type (in bits). If the bit length is less than the length of the data type, then the parameter is truncated accordingly when transmitted. As a result, this can lead to data loss because parts of the parameter are cut off. If the bit length is greater than the length of the data type, then the parameter is appended at the end with filling bits. |
Count | Number of parameters that should be inserted into the assembly. |
