APPENDIX E: SYMBOL NAMES
APPENDIX E: SYMBOL NAMES
A list of symbol names (that is, text description tags) has been defined for the MPC4 and
AMC8 cards. This list is available from Meggitt Sensing Systems as a text file, on request.
This information can be used with the SIMATIC STEP 7 software, as Symbols, to make the
data available at each PROFINET address easier to identify and understand.
NOTE: In the following table, n (in the Symbol name column) defines the VM600 rack slot
number for a card, which can be from 3 to 14.
