Integrating Modules into the Project
You have the option of connecting up to four sensors to the interface module. To do this, you
must specify the number of modules and their properties in the control panel. The modules are
available in the hardware catalog.
Figure 4.6
Integrating modules
1. Switch to the
"Device view"
tab (1) in the
"Device and networks"
window.
2. Open the hardware catalog. Select your module (2) from the hardware catalog and drag it
into the device view (3).
The modules are automatically assigned an address range.
Creating Tag Tables
A tag table must be created to be able to watch or control measured values. In the tag table, you
can assign tags to input addresses or output addresses and allocate tag names. The names
are valid throughout the control panel. To create a tag table, proceed as follows:
