Table 59: Data types for signal names
12.3.2.3
Structure of the signal names
Signal names address the fieldbus data.
General structure of the signal names
Signal names have the following structure:
·
input~module_tag~signal_tag
·
output~module_tag~signal_tag
For a bit list the signal names have the following structure:
·
input~module_tag~bitlist_signal_tag
·
output~module_tag~bitlist_signal_tag
Parts of the signal name
1. The prefix
input
or
output
is produced automatically.
2. The tilde (~) separates the prefix and the module_tag.
3. You can enter the name for
module_tag
as described in section
Configuring I/O
[
}
page 184].
4. The tilde (~) separates the module_tag and the signal_tag or the
module_tag and the bitlist_signal_tag.
5. You can enter the name for
signal_tag
or
bitlist_signal_tag
as
described in section
Defining signals (procedure)
[
}
page 185].
