Definition
In contrast to the array, the values of a table grid (grid) are continually updated. This involves
a tabular representation of the values of system variables that can be addressed using one
block in one channel.
Assignment
A variables definition is assigned to the table-elements definition via a table identifier:
● The variables definition determines the values to be displayed and the definition of table
● The visible area of the grid is determined by the width and height of the I/O field. Any
Table identifiers
Identifiers of a table containing NCK/PLC values of the same type, which can be addressed
via a channel block. The table identifier is differentiated from limits or toggle fields by the

adding a comma after the identifier and then inserting the name of the file.

detailed information about the variables to be displayed. The table description can be
provided in a dynamic format.
Description
