I/O

There are two ways to transfer the filters in the form of coefficients to one or more terminals/channels (multi-download). You can transfer the filter by drag and drop or execute the Transfer Filter Set command via the context menu.

I/O 1:

In the simplest case, the filter coefficients are transferred to the measuring terminal by dragging the created filter onto the desired channel by drag and drop.

I/O 2:

Transfer of a single filter set (Enable Terminal Options = false)

Alternatively, a filter can be transferred via the Transfer Filter Set dialog.

I/O 3:

To do this, I/O and the target system must be selected with the appropriate NetId. Following the scan procedure, all existing measurement modules are displayed in a tree view. You can now select one or more channels and transfer the designed filter. In addition, the filters set in the terminal can be removed and also loaded to the Filter Designer.

Transfer of several filter sets (Enable Terminal Options = true)

It is possible to transfer several filter sets to different filter channels with the Enable Terminal Options filter set property.

I/O 4:

In this sample, four filter sets are marked with Terminal Filter = 1 and Terminal Channel from 1-4. Alternatively, the selection of the filter plot has the same effect, because all sub-members are then selected. In the Transfer Filter Set dialog, Channel1-Channel4 are selected under Filter1 for the ELM3004 terminal. A filter transfer leads to a transfer only taking place if the filter and channel numbers of the source (Filter Designer filter sets) and target (ELM terminal channel) match. This corresponds to the following four transfers:

I/O 5:

The selected filter sets must have unique filter and channel numbers.

The selected filter channels in the Transfer Filter Set dialog may not have unique filter and channel numbers.

A filter transfer takes place if the filter and channel numbers of source and target match.

Start-up list

As changes in the local CoE directory are lost when a terminal is replaced, it is advisable to create start-up entries from the Filter Designer. To do this, transfer a filter set via the Transfer Filter Set dialog as described in this chapter. If the transfer is successful, a pop-up window appears that asks whether startup entries should be created. If they should be created, the solution with the corresponding TwinCAT project must then be selected and the start-up entries are created.
