NotationSummary
This table contains all the atom-specific properties for all objects in the configuration, including the exact PLC address (data group, word offset, bit offset), external data type, I/O mode, etc.
Important! To insert a new record in this table, the object specified must exist. To do this, create a new record in the CONF table or SUPERCONF table which will supply the OAN, AREA and ENAME fields. Then you can enter the remaining properties.
Data group, word offset and bit offset are the standard terms used by Siemens and internally in IGSS. Note that these terms may change in Definition dependent on the driver you use. However, if you want to show the default terminology, hold down CTRL while you select the driver.

|
ATOM |
INTEGER |
A number identifying the atom Click here Atom IDs for the list of atom IDs. |
Atom on the Edit Mapping tab. |
|
ALMNO |
INTEGER |
The alarm number used for this atom.
Digital objects (Alarm-In
atom): This field is only used when the CONSEQALM field in the
DIG_SUBTYPE table is set
to 1 (consecutive alarm numbers). IMPORTANT: If you use consecutive alarm numbers, you must type the first alarm number minus one. If you want 2 as the first number, then type 1. |

|
EXTTYPE |
INTEGER |
A number identifying the external type chosen for this atom. |
External Type on the Edit Mapping tab. |
|
BITOFFSET |
INTEGER |
The bit offset specified as part of the PLC address. |
Bit offset on the Edit Mapping tab. |
|
WORDOFFSET |
INTEGER |
The word offset specified as part of the PLC address. |
Word offset on the Edit Mapping tab. |
|
DATAGROUP |
INTEGER |
The data group specified as part of the PLC address. |
Data group on the Edit Mapping tab. |
|
AIN |
INTEGER |
0 = The atom is not an input value 1 = The atom is an input value Note: If the atom is “in/out”, the value 1 is shown in both IN and OUT. If the atom is “local”, the value 0 is shown in both fields. |
I/O mode on the Edit Mapping tab. |
|
AOUT |
INTEGER |
0 = The atom is not an output value 1 = The atom is an output value Note: If the atom is “in/out”, the value 1 is shown in both IN and OUT. If the atom is “local”, the value 0 is shown in both fields. |
I/O mode on the Edit Mapping tab. |
|
CHALARM |
INTEGER |
Only relevant for the limit atom on counter objects. 0 = atom not used to check for alarms. 1 = atom used to check for alarms. |
