8.6.1 Working in the PLC configuration
The configuration editor consists of two window panes.
The left-hand window pane provides a structured representation of the module inputs and outputs.
If an organization unit is selected, the data are shown in the right-hand window pane under basic
parameters.
The top level of the dialog box PLC configuration includes the name of the selected automation
system.
Elements identified with a plus sign are organization elements and contain subelements.
•
Click the plus sign to show the subelements. Click the minus sign to hide the subelements
again.
•
Double-click an element to change the input/output variable names.
The variables/direct addresses of the system organization unit inputs/outputs can now be called as
system variables in the POUs for programming.

menu (right mouse key) or via
