Export / Import of a function group
A right mouse click on the group shows the export to the library. The modules of can be exported
to the library. An exported group can be imported into a different group sheet. This export allows
you to create a library. This makes it possible to create a library with preset function groups that
can be imported into new projects. In the library window, the group cannot be renamed. The user
can change the image of the exported groups.
Only by means of an already inserted group frame can a function group be imported via the library.
Import includes the verification of the sensor configuration and of the already existing resources in
the function chart. The group can only be imported, if resources for all modules are available. The
necessary sensor settings must be checked, especially in case of position-dependent monitoring
modules. If a resource is not available any more, an error message appears.
In case of resource errors, you must make sure that the sensor settings correspond to the
requirements of the group. This applies especially, if position-dependent modules have been used
in the function groups (SEL, SLP, SCA).
4.13.5.7.4.
Group interface
The blocks of the group interface are the interface from the function group to the elements outside
the group. Connections to function blocks outside the group are only possible via the group
interface. You can insert a block for a group interface by dragging a group input / a group output
into the the library of the group interfaces and inserting it in the respective group block (or in the
group on the function chart). After you have added a block to a group, the group interface is added.
In the interface modules, the connection type can be selected arbitrarily. However, the same
connection constellation is necessary to import the group into a different function plan.
Connection type: This option can be used to set elements of the group inputs and group outputs
and to avoid improper assignments.
Example:
The axis of the connection type is connected to the block of the group interface. In
the user mode, the group blocks must always be connected to the same connection type.
