Assignment
A variables definition is assigned to the table-elements definition via a table identifier:
● The variables definition determines the values to be displayed and the table-elements
definition determines the on-screen appearance and assignment. The table grid takes the
properties of the input/output fields from the variables definition line.
● The visible area of the grid is determined by the width and height of the I/O field. Any
lines or columns than cannot be seen can be displayed by scrolling horizontally and
vertically.
Description
The variables definition will contain a reference to a table description:
DEF
Identifier
= Identifier = Name of variable
Variable type → 1
/[Limits or toggle field or table identifier] → 2
/[Default] → 3
/[Texts (Long text, Short text|Image, Graphics text, Units
text)]
→ 4
/[Attributes] → 5
/[Help display] → 6
/[System or user variable] → 7
/[Position of short text] → 8
/[Position input/output field(Left, Top, Width, Height)] → 9
/[Colors] → 10
/[Help] (HMI Advanced only) → 11
Table identifier [2]
Identifiers of a table containing NCK/PLC values of the same type, which can be addressed
via a channel block. The table identifier is differentiated from limits or toggle fields by the
addition of a % sign in front of it. The file containing the table description can be specified by
adding a comma after the identifier and then inserting the name of the file.
System or user variable [7]
This parameter remains empty for table grids, because the column definition lines contain
detailed information about the variables to be displayed. The table description can be
provided in a dynamic format.
