8.5 Workflows for the L-INX
8.5.1 Starting with Data Points
This workflow is based on defining data points used for the IEC61131 program in the L-INX
Configurator and then export them to logiCAD. Figure 64 presents the basic steps of this
workflow. To follow the steps refer to the quick-start description of Section 5.6. Refer to the
LINX Configurator User Manual [2] about additional information how to gather information
from the network.

Figure 64: Start with network based information
It is assumed that there are already network data points (CEA-709, BACnet, L-IOB, etc.)
available. Clicking the Export variables to logiCAD button in the Configurator creates the
IEC61131 variables in logiCAD. The following rules are applied in this process:
The name of the global variables object is derived from the technology base folder
(e.g. CEA709, User Registers, etc.). If there is no matching global variables object
