5-2-2-3 Configuration Definitions
There are three types of configuration definitions:
• Adding new settings. You can add new settings if the current settings area of the spreadsheet is blank (see
Figure 5-4).
• Deleting current settings. You can delete existing current settings by making the new settings area blank.
• Changing current settings. You can change existing current settings by writing a different setting in the new
settings area. The format of the existing setting and the new settings must be the same.
The configuration definition consists of the index and the parameter (see Figure 5-3). The index is fixed for each
function tag, so it must be the same for both the current settings and the new settings. By modifying the settings in
the parameter, you can add, delete, or change the settings.
You can write the configuration definition either between a function tag and another function tag, or between a
function tag and the end of the file. A configuration definition allows you to set the parameters (adding, deleting,
or changing) for the subsystem. A row of configuration definitions can be divided into the current settings area, a
blank column, and the new settings area.
Configuration definition settings must comply with the following:
• The current settings area and the new settings area must be in exactly the same format, with four blank
columns in between.
• The maximum number of columns for the settings depends on the product, and is stated in the declaration
row.
• The number of the available columns for each function tag depends on the number of parameters that can
be set for each function and on the version of the spreadsheet.
• When the current spreadsheet file is downloaded, the new settings area is left blank. All of the columns
should be separated by commas.
• You may not change the indexes, and all of the specified index settings indexes must match the actual
settings.
• Do not write the identical index more than once in the same function tag.
• If you want to change some but not all of the settings on the same function tag, for those settings that you
don’t want to change you need to copy and paste the current settings to the new settings area. Otherwise,
those settings will be processed as deleted.
Figure 5-3 shows an example of index and parameter definition.
