The object type has now been created.
The object type will later be used to create instances which will be connected to the
individual properties existing in the PLCs.
Adding Signals to an Object Type
Signal objects are used to read and write data from/to the PLCs.
For each device type we need to define which properties we need to read or write
from/to the PLC for this type of device. This is done by creating a PLC signal for
each of the properties that should be accessed.
To configure e.g. Simple OnOffMotor do as follows.
1. In the Object Type Structure, expand the Simple OnOffMotor down to the
lowest level.
