Configuring Device Item Definitions

The Device Items tab in the Parameters configuration view is used to define aliases to actual PLC items. The Device Items dialog box is the place where the following activities are performed:

Creating new device item definitions for PLC items.

Modifying the existing device items.

Deleting device items.

Archiving the created list of device items to a .csv file, a file with values separated by commas.

Bringing a .csv file into the Device Items tab.

Each device item definition should contain a unique name for the PLC associated with it.

Device Item Definitions

The Device Items dialog box, which is displayed by clicking the Device Items tab in the CV500 Parameters configuration view, is used to add, clear all, rename, delete, import and export device items. The Device Items dialog box has the following two columns:

Name: This column defines the alias names to actual PLC items.

Item Reference: The actual PLC item names, linked to the created aliases, are defined in this column.

For example, for Data Memory Area D100, the following entries can be created.

Name

Item Reference

D100_Unsigned

D100

D100_Signed

D100S

Note: When you create or add a new device item, a unique name needs to be entered for it.
