5.5.6 Parameterization of connected elements
Input and output elements can be parameterized when they are located in the Parking
area or in the Configuration area. Depending on the type of element you can:
– assign a tag name (identifying name for the element)
– set evaluation parameters for the element, for example the discrepancy time,
ON-OFF or OFF-ON filter, connection to a test output, test pulses
enabled/disabled, etc.
How to parameterize a connected element:
Double click on the element or right click an element in the Parking area or in the
Configuration area and select Edit... from the context menu. The Element
settings window is opened.
Tag name
Enter a Tag name for the element, if desired. Otherwise the default tag name is
used.
Nr. of devices
Adjust the Nr. of devices, if necessary. E.g. if you have connected a cascade of
several SICK L21 testable type 2 sensors to one input, you can use this function to
adjust the number of devices that will appear on the bill of material in the project
report to match the actual number of devices used.
