I/O Mapping ListΒΆ
Automation_Builder contains an I/O mapping list feature for creating mapping variables with better usability support compared to the tree structured view. Details on the tree structured view is provided in the CODESYS Development SystemConfiguring I/O Links: Configuring Devices and Mapping I/Os
Functionalities of the I/O mapping list:
- Displays I/O mappings for current node and all valid subsequent child nodes.
- Displays channel information with additional columns.
- Supports keyboard functions such as cut, copy, paste, delete, and select all within the editor and within Excel spreadsheet (for bulk editing).
- Contains a ToolBar for filters, undo/redo and clear mappings.
- Supports single click edit and easy navigation using arrow keys.
- Improvised error handling:
- Allows to enter invalid mapping variables. This provides flexibility in bulk editing. Only when saving the project, the errors - according to IEC 61131 standard - are displayed.
- In the message window, the error log is visible. The user can track the errors to their corresponding channel in the editor.
- Allows multi-selection of rows and columns. (Random selection is not allowed.)
