Heidenhain transfer object
Heidenhain controllers are available as both sources and targets. The required Heidenhain controller must be configured as a plug-in instance. Create a Heidenhain transfer object within the connection as described.
After double-clicking on the transfer object, set the following properties:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Connection | The Heidenhain controllers are available here as configured instances of the OPC plug-in. If the Heidenhain connection is to be determined as a template variable at runtime, please refer to the corresponding instructions. |
| Data points | Enter the required data points here. Use the tag browser for convenient selection. |
| Value Timestamp | Optional. If activated, you can output the timestamp of the individual data points. |
Using the tag browser
The "Tag Browser" button opens another window—the tag browser—in which the available data points are displayed in a graphical structure. When you enter a search term, the tree is hidden and all data points that match the search term are displayed.
The Heidenhain transfer object dialog and the tag browser are not modal, which means that you can switch between the two windows as you wish during editing.
- In the item list, select the line where the new item is to be placed. This can be an existing line (entry is replaced) or the last line (*).
- Open the tag browser.
- Double-click on the desired Heidenhain item. It will be applied.
In the tag browser, "automatic data points" can now also be selected for each machine. These are not writable. The following data points can be selected:
- ExecutionMode
- ProgramStatus
