How to add a data byte to the routing table:
Drag and drop an element (i.e. byte) from the
Available data
area to a free slot in the
Gateway data set to network
area. If the desired position is not free, you will have to
clear it first by deleting or moving the byte currently assigned to it.
It is possible to use the same byte several times in the routing table.
7.3.3
Gateway data set to network area
This area contains the routing table. It shows the current content of the Flexi Soft gate-
way’s input data modules, bytes and bits highlighted blue will hold “live” data from the
system since the hardware configuration does support the source. Bytes highlighted grey
actually do not have data associated with them since the hardware configuration does not
support the sources.
How to delete a data byte from the routing table:
Drag and drop the byte you want to delete to the trashcan icon in the bottom left corner
of the
Gateway data set to network
area.
Or:
Select the byte you want to delete by clicking it with the left mouse button. Then, click
on the
Delete routing
button in the toolbar.
Or:
Call up the context menu by clicking the respective byte with the right mouse button. In
the context menu, select the
Delete routing
command.
How to move a data byte to another place in the routing table:
Drag and drop the byte you want to move to the desired position. If the desired position
is not free, you will have to clear it first by deleting or moving the byte currently assigned
to it.
7.3.4
Tag names area
This area shows the tag names associated with each bit of the byte currently selected in
the
Available data
or the
Gateway data set to network
area. You can enter these tag
names in the logic editor and in the hardware configuration dialog (e.g. for extension
modules).
In the
Tag names
area of the Flexi Soft to Network configuration dialog, it is not possible to
edit tag names, with the exception of the gateway direct outputs (see the following
section).
