CX-Programmer supports a mechanism for sharing symbol definitions with other, compliant applications. This
could allow, for example, the symbols declared within CX-Programmer to be linked to a SCADA package so
that the definitions and changes of addresses are synchronized.
Note:
The sharing is not
active
– changes in the shared symbols are not instantly broadcast to the
other applications.
A CX-Server file is used as the medium for transferring symbol definitions between applications. Refer to
Chapter 5 - Advanced Topics
for details regarding linking symbols to CX-Server components.
