Add technology objects

Add technology object in the project navigator
When a technology object is added, an instance DB is created for the instruction of this
technology object. The configuration of the technology object is stored in this instance DB.
Requirement
A project with a CPU has been created.
Procedure
To add a technology object, proceed as follows:
1. Open the CPU folder in the project tree.
2. Open the "Technology objects" folder.
3. Double-click "Add new object".
The "Add new object" dialog box opens.
4. Click on the "PID" button.
All available PID-controllers for this CPU are displayed.
5. Select the instruction for the technology object, for example, PID_Compact.
6. Enter an individual name for the technology object in the "Name" input field.
7. Select the "Manual" option if you want to change the suggested data block number of the
instance DB.
8. Click "Further information" if you want to add own information to the technology object.
9. Confirm with "OK".
