■If all of the entries that are required have been defined, you can confirm the whole definition by pressing the F4 Accept key, which closes and saves the hardware definition. The window is closed and the main menu appears. At the top of the screen, the project name DEMO_PRO is displayed. If, instead of F4, either the Esc or F10 Exit key is pressed, all entries are disregarded and none are saved.
Note
Further information on the use of the project editor can be found in chapter 4 of the PANELWARE™ Software Configuration Reference Manual .
Selecting the Connections
Every PLC that is connected with a modular PANELWARE Panel must be defined in the connection list. Each connection has a separate list, called the Variable Assignment Table (VAT). The VAT contains all variables that are used in the project and their assignments to physical PLC addresses.
Execute the following steps to define the connections used in the demo:
1. Select the Connection function from the Edit menu. The Connection List window appears. The connections that are already defined are shown in this list. The connection with the ID DD is automatically inserted when a new project is created.
