Custom Logical Nodes

With the function Custom Logical Nodes it is possible to define own Logical Nodes or to extend existing Logical Nodes. The new elements are written to a private database. This way, they are also available again for each new configuration.

In the window shown, you can define your own Logical Nodes. For this purpose, for each Data Object Name and a Common Data Class can be selected. Furthermore, the data object can be assigned to a group, so that a categorization in the configurator leads to an increase in clarity. In the Presence column you can set whether the element should be added by default or whether it should be optional. By using the arrows on the left side of the window, the order of the Data Objects can be adjusted. In addition, new Data Objects can be added or existing ones deleted.

In the figure shown here, the logical node defined in the standard XSWI (Circuit Switch) is extended in a user-defined way. For this purpose, a Logical Node can be selected for editing at the top right of the window. One custom Logical Node with the same name can be created per Logical Node from the default. Additional custom Logical Nodes must be given individual names.

By confirming with the button Create the new Logical Node is written into the private database and is available for configuration from now on.
