Address list

The address list is where you create I/O variables, which you then assign to a particular item
of hardware. You can monitor I/O variables in the address list, and, when necessary, modify
them. The I/O variables are assigned either manually or via an assignment wizard.
Opening the address list
To open the address list, proceed as follows:
1. Browse to the folder for the device in the project navigator.
2. Double-click the Address list element below the device.
The address list opens in the details area.

Watch table

With the symbol browser you can view the variables belonging to one object in your project;
with the program status you can view the variables belonging to a selected monitoring area in
the program. With watch tables, in contrast, you can monitor selected variables from different
sources as a group (e.g. program sources, technology objects, SINAMICS drives - even on
different devices). You can sort the variables in the watch table in any way you want, add
comments regarding them, and combine them into groups. You can hide individual variables
to make the watch table more manageable and also control variables via the watch table
directly.
Creating a watch table
To create a watch table and assign your variables, proceed as follows:
1. In the project navigator, open the Monitor folder.
2. Double-click the Insert watch table entry to create a watch table.
3. Enter the name of the watch table.
A watch table is created with this name in the Monitor folder.
