Create project

Information

If you delete a device, all subordinate objects are also removed. This action

can be undone with Edit - Undo.

Update device

Devices can be updated to a newer version or to a different type. Similar to

Add Device is Update Device in the context menu.

Information

When changing the type of the device all settings will be lost and the sub-

devices can be preserved only in certain cases. This also applies to de-

vices with small differences.

5.3 Configure devices

The inserted devices can be configured depending on the setings. For fur-

ther information see "Configuration of devices".

5.4 Insert existing symbol files

If symbol files are already existing (e.g. from u-create studio C++ or manu-

ally created files) those can be inserted into u-create studio.

This happens via right mouse-click on the control in the project tree and se-

lecting Add object ► Symbol file.... The path of the desired symbol file is

inserted in the opened window. Via Add the symbol file is added to the

project.

This can be repeated for several symbol files.

When generating the project all variables of inserted symbol files or symbol

configurations within the project are written into a single symbol file. This file

is then available for e.g. the visualization application.

5.5 Mapping endpoints

Each device with endpoints features the tab I/O Mapping in the configura-

tion window.

System variables of the IEC application can be mapped in this tab to HW

endpoints (assuming a suitable data type). Therefore variables are allocated

for the desired inputs and outputs which will be created automatically after

saving. This variables can be used in the IEC application.
