Group Operations

mbul_mail Operation = Copy

mbul_mail Operation = Cut

mbul_mail Operation = Delete

mbul_mail Operation = Change Address

mbul_mail Operation = Change byte order

mbul_mail Operation = Change region

mbul_mail Operation = Change tag type in device

mbul_mail Operation = Change tag type in server

mbul_mail Operation = Change access

mbul_mail Operation = Change conversion (A*X+B)

This command is available in a context menu of a device, a sub-device or a tag group as well as in a context menu of the tag table (see Design-Time Interface ). Upon this command, the respective dialog is opened; a set of dialog tools depends on a selected operation.

Operation = Copy

modbus_img99

Upon the OK command, highlighted tags are copied into the clipboard.

Operation = Cut

modbus_img100

Upon the OK command, highlighted tags are cut into the clipboard.

Operation = Delete

modbus_img101

Upon the OK command, highlighted tags are deleted.

Operation = Change Address

modbus_img102

This dialog allows setting incremented or decremented addresses for selected tags.

Type of change = Offset

The Base address parameter sets an initial address. The Offset parameter defines an increment (a positive value) or a decrement (a negative value).

In the example above, Base address = 10 and Offset =2; so that addresses of the highlighted tags are changed in the following way upon the Apply command:

modbus_img103

Type of change = Type

The Base address parameter (the single one in this case) sets an initial address. An increment is defined by a data type. In the example below, Base address=0, Tag2.Data type in device=int32, and Data type in device=int16 for all other tags.

Before the change:

modbus_img104

After the change:

modbus_img105

Type of change = Sum

The Summand parameter (the single one in this case) sets a value (can be negative) added to addresses of tags selected. In the example below, Summand=7:

Before the change:

modbus_img106

After the change:

modbus_img107

Operation = Change byte order

modbus_img108

This dialog allows changing the parameters Byte order and Byte swapping of tags selected.

To change an order sample, click the button modbus_img109 to open The Byte Swapping Editor .

To change the parameters to click Apply.

Operation = Change region

modbus_img110

This dialog allows changing a region for the selected tags.

A new region value is selected in the combo-box (see the screenshot above). To change a region to click Apply.

Operation = Change tag type in device

modbus_img111

This dialog allows changing a data type of the selected tags in the device.

A new data type is selected in the combo-box (see the screenshot above). To change a data type to click Apply.

Operation = Change tag type in server

modbus_img112

This dialog allows changing a data type of the selected tags in the server.

A new data type is selected in the combo-box (see the screenshot above). To change a data type to click Apply.

Operation = Change Access

gruppovwe_operacii

This dialog allows changing a tag access type.

A new access type is selected in the Access combo-box. To change an access type to click Apply.

Operation = Change conversion (A*X+B)

gruppovwe_operacii1

This dialog allows changing parameters of tag conversion (switch the conversion mode on, set the coefficients A and B).

Set new parameters and click Apply.
