Overview

There are several kinds of objects that are managed in hardware modules, for example %IW, %QW, %MW, %I, %Q, etc.

By means of the conversion wizard you are able to

  • move all objects from one slot to another slot.

    This is equivalent to search any kind of objects with e.g. addresses \4.0\2.* and replace in all kind of objects with \5.2\3.*.

  • move a subset of channels from one location to another one.

Procedure

Step

Action

1

Select the rows of the data to be remapped either at the channels level or in levels below.

2

Right click anywhere in the selected area to open the context menu.

3

Select Define Target from the context menu.

The Define Target dialog opens.

4

Enter the address that should be assigned to the first selected row in the remapping table.

5

Click OK to confirm.

Result:

The selected rows are remapped incrementally starting from the new address entered for the first selected row. Even addresses in levels below are remapped.

The new addresses are displayed in the Corrected column. See example below.

Example

Embedded counter channels of a PL7 TSX Micro CPU moved to a counting module of a Modicon M340

Validity Check

There is no validity check of the new mapping with the opened application during editing.

The check of consistency is done after converting the application, during the analysis of the application in Control Expert.
