No graphics check-box

 Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The No graphics check-box is available when creating new I/O's only. When editing existing ones, it is greyed out. The description below therefore deals with new I/O's only.

 

If you do not check No graphics, you will get graphics! This means that by default, you will get not only the connection point numbers, and the other needed attributes defined, but also the graphics drawn for you. After all, the I/O's in a PLC mirror should in most cases look the same, so why not?

 

On the other hand, if you for one reason or the other do not want to use one of the standard appearances of the I/O's, you can check the No graphics check-box. If you do, you will insert a function object with connection point numbers, a cross-reference, and the other needed attributes, but no graphics. You will then have to draw the graphics yourself.
