Use the following procedure to add a symbol.
1, 2, 3…
1. From
the
Insert
menu select
Symbol
or right click on the symbols folder and select
Insert Symbol
. The New Symbol dialog is displayed.
2. Enter a symbol name.
3. Enter an address or value in the
Address or Value
field. For a value (NUMBER data type
symbol), type in a decimal value, or prefix the value with a ‘#’ for hexadecimal. A
positive or negative floating point value may also be entered. Leave the field blank if the
address is to be automatically allocated.
4. Select a data type in the
Data Type
field. For a numeric value rather than address, select
the data type ‘Number’.
5. Enter a comment, if required, in the
Comment
field.
To specify an array, click the
Advanced Settings
Button and specify the array in the
Advance Settings Dialog box that is displayed.
6. For global symbols, indicate whether to share the symbol definition with the project’s
linked CX-Server file by setting the
Link the Definition to a CX-Server file
field.
7. Select
the
OK
pushbutton to accept the settings. Select the
Cancel
pushbutton to abort the

Auto Generation of Symbols
It is possible to create symbols without giving them a name, but certain restrictions apply:
♦
This can only be done in the Global Symbol table.
♦
An address and comment must be given.
♦
The data type must be BOOL or CHANNEL.
These are called unnamed symbols, and normally they would appear in the symbol table or ladder diagram with
no name.
However, an option is provided to automatically generate a symbol name for unnamed symbols. The
Tools|Options|Symbols
dialog contains a checkbox marked ‘Automatically Generate Symbol Names’. If this
option is selected then names are automatically generated for unnamed symbols, and these names have a
standard format of
AutoGen_[Address],
where ‘Address’ is replaced with the symbol’s address. If two or more
symbols of this type have the same address, a (Copy Of #) is suffixed, where # is a unique number.
