Referenced Type Range
Override Value
Minimum, maximum, and invalid values for the
network variable member. A network variable
member with a reference type can have a
minimum and maximum range restriction that is
more restrictive than the range restriction for the
network variable type.
You can enter raw data into this field using any of
the following methods:
• A continuous stream of hexadecimal digits.
Example: 01010101ABCDABCD00
• Dash, colon, or dot separators for optional
grouping. Example: 01010101-ABCDABCD-
00
• A single asterisk character followed by a
decimal multiplier, which repeats the
preceding sequence of hexadecimal digits.
Example: 01*4-ABCD*2-00. The raw data
display may not match what you originally
entered. For example, if you enter “00-00*4,”
it will later be shown as “00*5.”
Formatted Value Displays the translated value based on the raw
value entered in Referenced Type Range
Override and Default Value.
Adding a Configuration Property Member to a Functional Profile
You can add mandatory and optional configuration properties to a functional profile.
When you create a functional block from a functional profile, it must implement all the
mandatory configuration properties defined by the functional profile. It may implement
some, all, or none of the optional configuration properties, and it may add
implementation-specific configuration properties.
You can also add mandatory and optional configuration properties to a functional profile
that inherits members from a scope 0 profile (see Creating and Modifying a Functional
Profile). The inherited profile initially contains all the members defined in the scope 0
profile. You can add new members, or your can redefine existing members. To redefine a
member, define a new member with the same name as the scope 0 member to be
redefined
To add mandatory and optional configuration properties to a functional profile, follow
these steps:
1. Drag a configuration property type from the Resource (leftmost) pane to the
appropriate folder in the Profile (center) pane. The Functional Profile pane contains
the functional profile definition with Mandatory CPs and Optional CPs folders for
the configuration properties in the profile. Each type that you drag becomes a new
member in the profile. You can drag the same type multiple times to create multiple
members of the same type, however, you cannot create more than one configuration
