Copying objects to other TIMs
Once all the objects for a TIM have been configured and have had parameters assigned, you
can copy the objects and the parameter assignments to another TIM in the project that
requires the same or similar objects.
Follow the steps outlined below:
1. Select the objects in the subscriber list (<Shift > + arrow keys or select the objects +
<Ctrl>).
2. Select the "Copy" shortcut menu.
3. Select another TIM in the "TIMs with TD7onTIM" directory.
4. Add the selected objects to this TIM with "Paste" in the shortcut menu.
The objects along with their entire parameter assignment are adopted by the TD7onTIM of
the other TIM. In the copied object and its channels, it may be necessary to adapt the
subscriber-specific parameter assignment (for example the input and output addresses).
If the complete parameter assignment of TD7onTIM is required for other TIM modules, you
can also transfer the entire objects to a different TIM. Follow the steps outlined below:
1. Select a TIM in the "TIMs with TD7onTIM" directory.
2. Select the "Copy" shortcut menu.
3. Select another TIM in the "TIMs with TD7onTIM" directory.
4. Add all objects to the other TIM with "Paste" in the shortcut menu.
Overview of the channel types
Each data object has a defined number of channels with default parameters. The number of
channels and the data type cannot be changed for an individual data object.
The data type of the channels depends on the object type. Apart from the setpoint and
parameter objects, all data objects have one or more channels of the same type.
The channel types differ in the transmission direction relative to the communications partner
and fall into the following two classes:
●
Function: Data send
Channel types: Binary send, analog send, data send, mean value send, counted value
send, command send, setpoint send
●
Function: Data receive
Channel types: Binary receive, analog receive, data receive, mean value receive,
counted value receive, command receive, setpoint receive
