Reference user interface
With the aid of the TE1420 Target for FMI, TwinCAT runtime objects (TcCom modules or PLC function blocks) can be generated from FMUs. These are packaged in a TwinCAT driver (*.tmx) or in a PLC library. From a TwinCAT FMI project always exactly one TMX driver and/or PLC library is generated.
The user interface is therefore divided into a general area, in which settings can be set that apply to all runtime objects in this TwinCAT driver/PLC library, and an object-specific part, which contains the settings for the respective runtime object.
If you press the Start button, the conversion to TwinCAT runtime objects starts. At the same time, the current settings are saved to an XML file so that you can continue working on this project the next time you start the tool window. To reset the project press the Restore default settings button.
Use the buttons Load settings or Save settings to load or save FMI projects.
Load settings | Loads an FMI project. |
Save settings | Saves the settings of the current FMI project. |
Restore default settings | Restores a default project. |
Start | Starts the import or conversion of the FMUs into TwinCAT runtime objects. |
