Names and Device DDT

[Aqui]

Hello
I would need to know if there is a simple way to manually assign names to the Device DDT type I/O variables on M580.

For example, exporting the I/O names from Eplan or similar to a file and somehow importing them into the Control Expert Data Editor list (in this case to the data xxxxCanalxxxx.VALUE)

Five or six variables can be write down well by hand, but 500 or 1000 are a little more work...

Thank you

Hi Aqui,

The attached has not been moderated yet so I can't see exactly what you are trying to do and with what devices types, but I am assuming you are trying to alias a variable to a channel using the Device DDT.  You can write a script to generate the following:

<VariablesExchangeFile>

   <dataBlock>

      <variables name="LH001" typeName="T_U_DIS_STD_CH_IN">
         <comment>Canal Level Switch 1 Field Input</comment>
         <attribute name="AliasOf" value="PLC0_D00_R01_S04_DDI_3232.DIS_CH_IN[0]" />
      </variables>

      <variables name="LH002" typeName="T_U_DIS_STD_CH_IN">
         <comment>Canal Level Switch 2 Field Input</comment>
         <attribute name="AliasOf" value="PLC0_D00_R01_S04_DDI_3232.DIS_CH_IN[1]" />
      </variables>

   </dataBlock>
</VariablesExchangeFile>

Then:

LH001.VALUE is equivalent to PLC0_D00_R01_S04_DDI_3232.DIS_CH_IN[0].VALUE

LH002.VALUE is equivalent to PLC0_D00_R01_S04_DDI_3232.DIS_CH_IN[1].VALUE

Hopefully that helps.  The structures and types will vary with different I/O card types.
