“COMPONENTS” area The “COMPONENTS” area contains all of the components available for the project. The
components can be divided into the following types based on their function:
– Developing program code (“Data Types”, “Programs”, and “Functions & Function
Blocks”)
– Showing all devices available for the “PLANT” area and adding them via GSDML or FD-
CML (“Devices”)
– Editing HMI pages (“HMI”)
– Adding libraries such as firmware libraries, International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) user libraries or libraries provided by Phoenix Contact (“References”)
Cross-functional area The cross-functional area contains functions that extend across the entire project.
– ERROR LIST:
Shows all errors, warnings and messages of the current project
– GLOBAL FIND AND REPLACE:
Finds and replaces strings in the project
– CROSS REFERENCES:
Displays all cross-references within the project – for example, the use and declaration
of all variable types or HMI tags
– WATCH WINDOWS:
Debug tool; shows the current values of the added variables in online mode
– BREAKPOINTS:
Debug tool for setting and resetting breakpoints when debugging within the application
– CALL STACKS:
Debug tool that shows the order for calling up when executing the code and that con-
tains commands for debugging with breakpoints
– LOGIC ANALYZER:
Records and visualizes variable values at runtime
– LOGGING:
Shows all errors, warnings and messages. A distinction is made between “online” (mes-
sages regarding the runtime environment and errors and warnings that concern online
communication) and “engineering” (messages regarding software events, e.g.,
GSDML or FDCML files; not project-related).
– RECYCLE BIN:
Elements that have recently been deleted from the “PLANT” or “COMPONENTS” areas
are moved to the recycle bin. Deleted elements can be restored from here, if needed.
