Generation of a Data Type for the PLC Program
The port configurator enables the generation of a UDT data type that can be used later in the PLC program.
The corresponding button is located in the "Addresses" tab in the configuration of the master (Figure 27).
The generated file can later be imported in the TIA Portal as an external source and converted into a data
type that represents the interface of the gripping module (Figure 28).
