The Configurator reports the results of the import. For the import process the following rules
are applied:
New variables are added
Variables with same name and type are ignored
If there are variables with the same name but different type or direction, the variable
to import is ignored and a warning is added to the import log.
The name of the folder to import the new variables corresponds to the name of the global
variables object. Figure 75 shows the result of the import process.
Figure 75: Connect IEC61131 variables
To create the appropriate network data points for all imported IEC61131 variables select the
IEC61131 Variables
folder and press the button
Generate and Connect Network <->
IEC61131
variable from folder
. Check the log output for errors and finally download the
configuration to the L-INX device.
After rebooting the L-INX device the IEC61131 program is up and running. Check the PLC
LED for potential overload.
8.5.3 Pre-compiled IEC61131 Program
In opposite to the last two chapters it is assumed that there are already some components
finished, hence starting up from scratch is not suitable. Second, there is the possibility to have
an already defined IEC61131 program or an already fixed network interface.
Starting with an already precompiled IEC61131 program results in a similar workflow as
presented in Section 8.5.1. The difference is that all logiCAD related tasks are missing. As
the IEC61131 program is compiled, the name of the IEC61131 data points is already fixed.
The definitions for the data points must be available either in form of a CSV file to import to
the L-INX Configurator or as part of a L-INX Configurator project. If the network interface
for the L-INX was not already defined, the L-INX Configurator can be used to generate and
connect the needed data points.
