Symbol Entry Point

The Symbol Entry Point describes the entry point(s) that the Symbol Explorer should take in the symbolic structure of a target. The required symbols can be selected. Various filters are also available that can reduce the number of symbols to be loaded.

Symbol Type Selection

This is a coarse filter that is applied to a symbol area (e.g. 'Persistent'). If the filter is selected, only the symbol and the parent symbol marked in the PLC with the respective scope (e.g. 'Persistent') are displayed.

Symbol Datatypes

A filter that is applied to the data type or a special feature of the data type.

Array size limitation

If the filter is active, all arrays with a primitive data type that are greater than the value for 'Maximum array length' are excluded.

Datatype Blacklist

Symbols whose data type is in the blacklist are excluded.
