3.1.2 Configuring variable monitors

Overview
You configure a variable monitor in the following steps:
1. Select the variable monitor or create a new variable monitor.
2. Name the variable monitor; comments and icons can be added as an option.
3. Define the PLC variables.
4. Use a control monitor to execute the variable monitor.
Selecting or creating variable monitors
Since it is possible for each machine to have several variable monitors, there is the
option of sorting them in the overview display either by their names or by the two
classification fields. In addition, it is possible to filter them by searching for specific
parts of text that appear in the Name and Variables columns using the "Search
text" box.
