ITcSmTreeItem Item Sub Types

Item sub types specify what kind of device, box or terminal is being used, for example a sub type of 2408 identifies a KL2408 digital output terminal. You can check the sub type of an item by manually adding it in TwinCAT System Manager or XAE and then export its XML description via the corresponding menu entry.

• TwinCAT System Manager: Actions --> Export XML description
• TwinCAT XAE: TwinCAT --> Selected item --> Export XML description
  

In the resulting XML file, the sub type is represented by the node <ItemSubType>. In the above example, we exported the XML description of an EL2008 terminal. The XML file shows that this terminal has a sub type of 9099.

The following tables will give you a good overview about some of the available sub types. If your devices is not listed, please perform the above steps to determine the sub type of your specific device.
