Function
PLC data can also be edited via symbols.
To do this, the symbol tables and texts for the symbols in the PLC
project must have been suitably prepared and made available in the
HMI.
Additional information
The program PlcSymbolsGenerator.exe and its description are
located in the PLC tool box. It creates the files with symbols and
language-dependent texts in the representation required for the HMI.
Preparation of PLC data:
• Save the files created with PlcSymbolsGenerator.exe in the
Services operating area under path: Diagnostics/PLC Data
(F:\DH\DG.DIR\PLC.DIR\ ) with the following predefined names
and extensions:
PlcSym.SNH
PlcSym_<language extension>.SNT
PlcSym_GR.SNT)
• NC RESET or reboot HMI to activate file
• Only for M:N configurations: There must be an entry which
makes the symbols available in netnames.ini for each
addressable NCU.
