Introduction

You can define analog, table and counter templates to be used for objects which share several properties. Note that the template properties dialog box is exactly the same as for normal objects of those types.

It is recommended to define templates in the Global area to make them available in all areas.

Effect of template changes

Previously defined objects based on an analog, table or counter template are NOT affected by changes to the template properties.

Create objects based on templates

Once you have created the template, you simply select the relevant item in the Objects menu, type a unique name for the new object and choose the template you want to base it on.

In the ensuing object properties dialog box, you need only type the specific PLC address, provided that all other properties are defined in the template.
