General Settings in the PLC Configuration
Select the entry 'PLC configuration' ('root' module) at top of the configuration tree.
Thereupon the dialog 'Settings' is shown in the right part of the window. The
following options can be activated:
• Calculate addresses: Each newly inserted module automatically is allocated with
an address, which results from the address of the module inserted before plus the
size of this address. If a module is removed from the configuration, the addresses
of the following modules are adjusted automatically. When the command 'Extras'
'Compute addresses' is executed, all addresses starting at the selected node
(module) will be recalculated.
• Check for overlapping addresses: At compilation the project will be checked for
overlapping addresses and a corresponding message will be displayed.
• Save configuration files in project: The information which is contained in the
configuration file(s) *.cfg and the device description files, which underlie the
current PLC Configuration, will be saved in the project.
Thus (if it is not defined by the configuration file, that always the standard
configuration should be reloaded !), the configuration as set up by the user will be
kept in the project, even if configuration files are not found when the project is re-
opened. Keep in mind that in such a case the complete project specific
configuration will get lost, if the here described option is not activated !
By saving the configuration information with the project these also will be kept at
a target change. But regard in this case, that the new target might bring own
configuration files which then will be regarded additionally.
Dialog for the general Settings of the PLC configuration
The global mode of addressing (flat addresses / addresses depending on Id) in the PLC
configuration is defined in the configuration file.
