1-12Saia-Burgess Controls Ltd.Editing symbolsSymbols reference the data needed by the PCD's user program, e.g. the stairwaylighting switches. We edit symbols in the connectors on the Fupla page. ‘Read’symbols are on the left, ‘write’ symbols are on the right.This stairway lighting example has 4 light switches as inputs (I 0, I 1, I 2 and I 3) andone output (O 32) to drive the stairway lights. The required period of 5 minutes, duringwhich stairway lighting will be on, must be entered in the input connector as a multipleof tenths of a second.The value of this constant is therefore 3000 (5 min. x 60 sec. x 10 3000).AddConnectorsTo add a connector and its symbol to a Fupla page, press the toolbar button AddConnector and position the mouse on the Fupla page. A ‘read’ input connector isadded by clicking the left-hand mouse button. A ‘write’ output connector is added byholding down the Shift key and pressing the left-hand mouse button. The connectoryou have just added is ready to receive a symbol and a cursor is displayed inside theconnector. If you do not wish to edit the symbol inside the connector straight away,press the ESC key and place the next connector.To edit or modify a connector symbol already present on the Fupla page, select theconnector by double clicking quickly. A cursor will be displayed inside the connector.It is now possible to enter the address I 0 to I 3, or output O 32, or the constant. Makesure you always leave a space between the letter I and the input address. The sameapplies for the output.Show HideSymbols EditorTo edit the input symbols, 4 consecutive cells in the left-hand column of the programscreen are marked with the mouse and addresses I 0 to I 3 are entered. The timeconstant 3000 (left) and output O 32 (right) are entered in the same way.Please note that the address type (I or O) and address value (0 to 3 and 32) must beseparated by a space character.The symbols will immediately appear in the Symbols window of the Symbol Editor. Ifthe symbol editor is not visible it can be displayed using the View, Symbols menucommand or by pressing the Show/Hide Symbol Editor toolbar button:Note: By default, each new page may already provide margins with connectors on theleft and right.
