Configurator window without executing the changes.

GoTo Menu

The GoTo Menu is used to search by name for variables mapped to

modules in the rack. It is also used to zoom in and out of the three

levels (local rack<ĆĆ>remote rack or head<ĆĆ>digital rail) of

configuration forms in the Rack Configurator and to access the

Variable Configurator from the Rack Configurator.

6.11.1

Locating a Variable by Name

Select Wildcard Search for Variable from the GoTo menu in the Rack

Configurator to locate a variable by name. Follow the procedure

below to search for a variable.
Step 1.

Enter the variable name without the variable type

character. Note that question mark (?) and asterisk (*)

wildcard characters are allowed in the search string. For

example, you could enter SPD* to find SPD_REF%.

Step 2.

Select the option button indicating whether the variable is

a local variable or a networkĆwide variable.

Step 3.

Select OK to begin the search. A dialog box will be

displayed indicating if a match was found, the type and

location of the variable found, and the slot number.

Step 4.

Select Yes if you want to search for another match. A

dialog box will tell you when there are no additional

matches. Selecting OK will return you to the Search for

Variable dialog box. You can repeat the search or change

the variable name or search mode. Select No to display

the form containing the variable name requested. The

variable name will be selected.

The search procedure will take you into the Variable Configurator.

You can return to the Rack Configurator by zooming out (see

section 7.6 for additional information). However, note that upon

returning to the Rack Configurator, the module that is selected will be

the same one selected before the Search was performed, rather than

the module containing the variable that was searched for.

6.11.2

Zooming In and Zooming Out

The Zoom In command will move you to the next lower level (greater

detail). If there is another hardware level below the selected module

(such as for the Remote I/O module (M/N 57C416), which contains"

the remote I/O network, or the DIgital Rail (M/N 45C1), which contains

2Ćbit I/O modules), zoom in will always take you to that view. At the

lowest hardware level (all other modules), zoom in will access the

Variable Configurator described in section 7. To access the Variable

Configurator for either the Remote I/O or the Digital Rail modules, use

the Configure Variables command, which always accesses the

Variable Configurator, regardless of the module selected. The Zoom

Out command reverses the process, taking you back to the next

higher level. When using a mouse, doubleĆclicking the left button on

the module performs a Zoom In command on that module, and
