Mapped symbols
Mapped symbols lists all symbols that have been mapped in the server.
Create Server Symbol: This button adds a new symbol to the server.
Unmap Symbol: This button removes a mapping from a symbol.
Toggle all On-/Offline: This button switches the state of all symbols between online and offline. No communication takes place with the server in the offline state.
Show live values for mapped symbols: This button shows live values from the PLC for mapped symbols in the Configuration window.
Create Server Symbol
Server symbols can be created centrally in the server under Mapped Symbols. They can also be used offline without a PLC. Clicking on the button Create Server Symbol opens a dialog for adding server symbols.
- Data type: Data type of the new symbol.
- Symbol Name: Name of the new symbol.
- Default Value: Default value of the symbol that is assigned when starting the server.
Server symbols that were created offline can be bound with a different symbol (e.g. from the PLC) later on. To do this, click on Map to other symbol in the context menu and select the symbol via the window Select Binding Source.
