Inserting a Channel AMS Net ID The AMS Net ID of the target system can be given here. This is normally set to "local", so that the AMS Net ID of the computer on which TCatScopeView is currently running is used. Server Port The Server Port must always be given. See also " Appendix - How do I find the correct port? [ } 24] " for how to determine the port The port information for the PLC is found in the system manager under PLC configuration and IEC project. The port for the NC or NC I is to be taken from the SAF configuration. If symbol names are used, the symbols can be read with "Reload Symbols" and selected with a click.
Recording variable from the NC When recording variables from the NC or from the CNC it is necessary that symbol generation is activated in the System Manager, since otherwise the symbols cannot be read (see also Appendix - Generating the NC Symbols [ } 25] ). Reading symbols of a PLC task If the symbols of a PLC task are to be read, they must be selected in the PLC project (cf. instruc- tions for PLC Control - Options ). Cycle time For the cycle time it is possible to choose between a user-defined cycle time and the task cycle time. It should be noted here that the value entered for a user defined cycle time must always be a multiple of the true cycle time.
Display This property page is used to specify how the plot is to be displayed in the Scope View. Scope View 16 Version: 1.1 Reference Description Symbol name The variable can be directly selected from the list. It is, however, important to ensure that the correct server port is chosen. Index group/offset In those cases where symbols have not been generated it is also possible to access the variables by index offset and group. The corresponding addresses can be found in the ADS Device documentation. Directly by symbol It is not necessary for all the symbols to be read to access variables symbolically. If the name is known, it can be used to access the variable.
