Variable Links
The various task input or output variables can be linked when selected either with the context menu or the dialogue shown on the right-hand side, e.g. with the I/O Configuration.
Context Menu
Some of the selection options in the context menu are only available when the configuration is active, and the system is running or they have other dependencies. If that is the case, they aren't high-lighted.
Clear Link(s)
Removes a link (indicated with a small arrow to the left of the variable symbol) from a variable.
Goto Link Variable
Jumps to the linked target variable (e.g. Bus Terminal channel or in/output variable of another task) in the System Manager tree.
Insert Variable

Delete
Deletes corresponding variable from the list.
Move Address
Moves the address of the marked variable within the Process Image.
Online Write

Online Force
