4.17.6 Replace ID String
Using the Replace ID String form, opened from the menu Maintenance - Replace ID String…, you can
manually enter an ID string instead of actually input it using one of the ID-device devices in your system.
This is useful if when a barcode label is damaged, or when the ID device for some reason is not working.
The form is accessible only when on-line.
First select the device to operate on using the Choose ID device combo box. It is filled with all ID devices
defined in the system.
Depending on the type of the selected device the function is as follows:
ï‚· For type Barcode: Enter the new string in the Replace with field and press the Apply button. The
new string is treated by the system just as if it was scanned using the barcode scanner. This
means that it is automatically sent to the Station and its PLC (visible as CURRIDSTRING, see
Station variables) and is stored in the device.
ï‚· For type Escort AB, Escort P&F or Omron: Enter the new string in the Replace with edit field
and specify how many times the string should be valid in the No. of reads edit field. Press Apply
to send the string to the escort memory device. The next time the PLC orders reading of the device
(by generating a positive edge on the PLC ID device variables IDREAD, or one of the Multiple
identifier variables) IDTYPE_x_RD, the replacement string will be returned to the Station and PLC
instead of actually trying to read data from the escort memory. This will be repeated as many times
as set by the No. of reads parameter.
Any manually entered ID string sent to the device (by pressing Apply) can be cleared by pressing the
Clear button.
