To the left of each station you will find the following tool icons:
Icon Function Description
Add Adds a new station in the current slot (A to D) and switches to
the view for the new station. This function is only available if no
station has been configured for this slot yet.
Edit Switches to the view for this station. There you can edit its
properties including the station name, configure the connected
hardware, program the logic, verify and lock the configuration
etc.
Recognize Connects to this station, uploads its hardware configuration,
then prompts you whether the software configuration shall be
uploaded from this station.
Delete Deletes this station from the current configuration.
Note: You will not be asked to confirm this command and there
is no Undo function. Unsaved changes will be lost.
Connect Connects to this station so that you can upload, transfer or verify
the configuration, run or stop the application etc.
Disconnect Disconnects from this station so that you can e.g. edit the
configuration.
If a function is not available, the corresponding icon is displayed grey.
Instead of clicking the Add or Edit button, you can also switch to the view for an
individual station by clicking the corresponding button for Station A to D or by
double clicking on that station’s graphical representation.
The Connect or Disconnect buttons next to each station perform their function
only for this station while the Connect or Disconnect button in the menu bar for the
Flexi Link system overview will connect to or disconnect from the entire Flexi Link
system (when you click Connect there you will be asked which stations you want to
connect to).
It is not possible to set all stations into the Run state or to stop them all
simultaneously in the Flexi Link system overview. You need to switch to the station
view for each station and to log in individually to each station as Administrator with
the password for this station in order to run it or to verify the configuration.
