SIMATIC PCS 7 OSx 4.1.1 @aGlance
Using the @aGlance Option (continued)
If you have installed the @aGlance/IT Client Runtime o ption, you can create
up to 256 hot links to the OSx database. Edit a cell and enter the hot link
syntax for acquiring the necessary tag data. For example, to create a hot
link to the attribute of one tag, enter the following:
=AAGDDE|osx<node_name>!’<tag:attribute>’
where node_name is the name of the OSx station, and tag:attribute is
the tag and attribute to which you are creating the hot link.
For more information, consult the user documentation or the online help
that accompanies your Excel add-in software.
Figure A-4 shows an example of a hot link in a spreadsheet cell. Cell A1
contains the hot link command, which is displayed in the cell content field:
=AAGDDE|osxnode1!’lp_0.pv lp_1.pv lp_2.pv lp_3.pv’
This hot link requests the process variables for four loops in a controller.
The process variable data is displayed in cells A1--A4 and is updated as the
process variables change.
NOTE: When you are using the macro tool, hot links that you have
configured on that spreadsheet do not update until you close the macro tool.
