The variable import for the S7TIA driver has been enhanced by the following functionalities:
Variable import dialog:
- Nodes can be selected for import in an import dialog by means of multiple selection. Variables can be pre-filtered with “Accessible from HMI”.
- The nodes are sorted alphabetically
- New import options:
- Write Identification
Overwrites the Identification property during import. This also applies for existing configurations. - Overwrite only empty Identifications
Overwrites all variable properties during import.
If the Identification property of the variable already contains a value, this value is not changed.
If the Identification property does not contain a value, this is set during import.
- New column Writable from HMI.
Corresponds to the configuration in a TIA project. The Write set value variable property is set according to the Writable from HMI import option. - The filter criterias for variable names take into account the case sensitive setting in Engineering Studio
- New subsequent dialog for the import method:
- Import all variables
- Only import new variables (the variable name is decisive)
- Only import existing variables (the variable name is decisive)
