Tab: Communication, via CODESYS Symbolic dl-permalink__symbolPermalink

The tab includes the communication settings via CODESYS Symbolic for the remote data source.

When initially ⮫ Adding a data source, you have selected the “ CODESYS Symbolic” data source type and depending on that the communication settings to the data source were configured. Afterwards, the communication settings are outdated on this tab. You can only initially set the “Data source type” setting.

CODESYS Symbolic means that in the case of an active connection the communication is done via symbolic monitoring. This kind of symbolic access is possibly for CODESYS V2 and CODESYS V3 controller variants. In addition, the runtime system has to support the symbol configuration.

You can develop a local application offline based on the symbol information without a connection to the data source. To do this, you refer to a symbol file in the configuration settings in which all required variable information has been stored. Then no active connection is established.
