A frequent use case is that there are several data blocks with identical structure or that several controllers with identical structure are to be integrated into the DataSuite.
In order to facilitate the configuration of triggers in case of identical structure of the data blocks and not to have to set each assignment for each data block anew, there is the possibility to change the used data block for all PLC variables in the trigger.
When selecting the new data block, it does not matter whether it is located in the same PLC as the original block or in a different PLC.
For the correct assignment it is important that the variables in both blocks have the same name. If variables are used in the trigger that do not exist in the new data block, these are marked as errors after the block has been changed and you can make a new manual assignment for these variables.
To change data blocks for all variables, edit the trigger and then click the button at the top right.
A dialog then opens and you can select a new data block for each one.
On the left side you can see all data blocks that are currently used in the trigger. On the right side you can then select by which data block this should be replaced.
In this example, the trigger is changed from the simulator to a real PLC. For this purpose, the data block “Data” of the real PLC is selected for the data block “Data” of the simulator.
