Step 1: Open project
Step 2: Switch to project view
Step 3: Install the GSDML file of the ad and add the display
Step 4: Establish a connection to the display
Step5: Add sub-module to the display and define address range

Step 8: Transmit values and texts to the display
Since the display has two address areas in this operating mode, two function blocks (in the example
'Network 1' and 'Network 2') must also be defined.
In 'Network 1' a function plan is defined with the 'MOVE' statement. In the example, the output area
begins with AD64. The following screenshot uses the string 'abcd'.
In 'Network 2', a further function plan is defined with the 'MOVE' statement. With this, the attributes are
controlled. Attributes define the display type. In this example, the value '16 # 0033 'is used to define
fast flashing.
