Setting Parameters in the PLC Configuration

For all windows containing module parameters the following basic rules apply:

  • All visible parameters of the configuration file are displayed.

    Only the values in the column Value can be edited.

  • Index: The Index is a consecutive number (i) for the parameters within a module.

  • Name: Name of the parameter.

  • Value : Value of the parameter, editable.

    The default value is displayed initially. Values can be set directly or by means of symbolic names. If the entries in the configuration file are not set to ‘Read Only’, they can be edited. To edit a value, click on the edit field or select one of the entries from the scroll list.

  • Default: Default value of the parameter.

  • Min.: Minimum value of the parameter (applies only if no symbolic names are used).

  • Max.: Maximum value of the parameter (applies only if no symbolic names are used).

A tooltip may give additional information on the currently selected parameter. This information is displayed according to the language setting for the Control Builder.
