'Wrapper' tab

Under this tab you can set whether a wrapper function block should also be generated for a TcCOM module. This is generated in the PlcOpen XML format and can be imported manually into a PLC project.

Unlike the settings in 'PLC Library' tab, which create a PLC library in which the individual models are represented as function blocks, the settings in the tab TcCOM->Wrapper create a function block that "wraps" the call of the TcCOM module. In this case, the actual TcCOM module "lives" outside the PLC and is only called or influenced by it.
