The mirroring back function using the "Value monitoring" parameter can be configured for
the following data point types:
● Setpoint output
● Parameter output
The local values of the data points of this type can be monitored for changes and the
changes transferred to the master with the "Value monitoring" function.
A change to a local value can be caused by, for example, manual operator input on site.
To allow the value resulting from local events or interventions to be transferred to the master
station, a mirroring back channel is generated for the relevant data point with the "Value
monitoring" function via which the locally changed value is mirrored back.
Remember that to use the mirror back function, you need to interconnect the local values in
the controller with the relevant PLC tag of the data point.
With the ARRAY data type, blocks of data from contiguous memory areas up to a size of
4 .. 48 bytes can be transferred.
Compatible components of ARRAY are DInt, UDint, DWord or Real. The components within
an array must be of the same type.
