General properties
Name: Name of the module.
Class ID: Unique module ID.
Auto generate on save: Enables TwinCAT to generate the ClassID via the module parameters during saving. If the ClassID changes during import of the binary modules, the corresponding ClassIDs have to be adjusted. Thus, TwinCAT can detect the interface change.
Choose Image: Add a 16x16 pixel bitmap symbol.
Reset image: Reset the module image to the default value.
Init sequence: Start the state machine. The selection options with 'late' in the name are internal. (See Object of the instance configurator for further information.)
Instantiable in RT Context: Indicates whether this module can be instantiated under real-time context; see TwinCAT Module Class Wizard
Defining the contexts of the module
You can add (+) or remove (-) contexts for the module. Edit the order with the help of the arrows.
The context ID must be an integer other than 0.
Optional Properties
A table of name, value and description for annotating the module.
This information is provided within the TMC and also TMI files.
TwinCAT functions as well as customer programs can use these properties.
