Visualising function blocks
For each motor controller, there is one function block for controlling and several function blocks for
parameterising.
A visualisation element is also provided to make initial start-up easier.
Figure: Visualisation element for the Festo motor controller CMMP-AS-... (example)
The input data of a function block linked to the visualisation is displayed in the left half of the visualisation
and output data is displayed in the right half. TRUE inputs and outputs are blue and FALSE inputs and
outputs are grey.
Connecting the visualisation
The visualisation element compatible with the selected function block is inserted in a visualisation object.
Refer to the general CoDeSys Help in the chapter "CoDeSys visualisation" for information on
how to create a visualisation object.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the editing window of the visualisation object by double-clicking the name of the object in the
'Visualizations' tab.
2. Click the 'Insert' menu item and select the 'Visualizations' command. You can also click the
'Visualizations' icon in the function bar.
3. Move the mouse pointer over the editing window. The mouse pointer is identified with the relevant
symbol in the window.
4. Click in the editing field and hold the mouse button pressed. Then drag the mouse over the editing
field to create a placeholder for the visualisation element. Release the mouse button when the
placeholder reaches the required size.
5. Search for the correct visualisation element in the "Select visualization" dialog window and press "OK"
to confirm your selection.
