Dialog: Update Frame Parameters Permalink

Function: The dialog requests you, after changing an interface in the visualization references concerned, to re-assign the variables for the parameter transfer.

Call: The dialog appears automatically.

Requirement: You have changed the interface of a visualization, for example by adding an additional variable. After that, you have clicked either “File → Project” or “Build → Generate Code”, or you have opened a visualization.

“Parameters”

Hierarchical structure of the interface parameters as a tree view

_visu_icon.png

Top node of the visualization hierarchy with the name of the visualization

This contains an element of type “Frame” or “Tabs”.

_visu_icon_frame.png

Name of the element (“Frame” or “Tabs” type)

_visu_icon.png

Name of the referenced visualization

_cds_icon_dut.png “(Current)”

Interface of the referenced visualization with the new parameters

You can edit the parameter transfer here.

_cds_icon_dut.png “(Previous)”

Interface of the referenced visualization with the previously valid parameters

You cannot edit the parameter transfer, but you can use it as a template.

_cds_icon_input_channel.png: ‎<name> ‎

Variable for the parameter transfer (‎VAR_INPUT‎ scope)

_cds_icon_varinout.png: ‎<name> ‎

Variable for the parameter transfer (‎VAR_IN_OUT‎ scope)

“Type”

Data type of the variable

Example: ‎INT‎

“Value”

Variable that is transferred as a parameter and with whose value the visualization is initialized during instantiation

Example: ‎PLC_PRG.iVisNr‎

If the variable lies under the current interface, which is marked in the tree view with _cds_icon_dut.png “(Current)”, then you can edit the parameter transfer.
