7.2.5 The Editor Tab
The
Editor
tab allows the programmer to change the project characteristics.
Beginning window
No.
: Changes the
window numbering
so it starts with 1
instead of 10.
Internally, EasyBuilder maintains the initial
window of 10 but displays all window numbers
with an offset so they appear to start with an
initial window of 1.
Note:
System windows that start with a
number less than 10, such as the Fast
Select window, now appear with negative
numbers in the Window Treebar.
Note:
Changing this does not affect the
window numbering for specifying the
Startup window
setting in the Set
System Parameters General Tab.
Compiler level:
This
selection is used to
determine the compile
type. Older projects did
not have any checks for PLC address type. Use
Level 0 to recompile older projects and Level 1
for all new projects. Old projects work on new
units.
Part Layout:
This selection determines what happens when a Part changes state, particularly when
the Part is in a lower layer, possibly covered by another window or object.
Select
Control
to have the part move to the topmost layer and become visible.
Select
Nature
to have the part stay in its original layer, still changing state, though partially or not
visible.
Address Mode:
This selection is used to enable Read and Write Device address fields to accept
Extended notation. Extended notation is used when a touchscreen is connected to more than
one controller. This is used with RS485/422 communications schemes.
Note:
The selected PLC in the Set System Parameters PLC Tab must have multiple PLC communications available.
For example: PLC type Modbus (485 2 wire) The addressing method is as follows:
Device type
