Symbol Configuration

In the “Symbol Configuration” area, the contents of an imported symbol configuration (XML) resulting from an application are displayed. The structure for controls is based on the PLCopen structure as standard.

The following functions are available in the “Symbol Configuration” area:

functions in the “Symbol Configuration” Area
Button		Function
	[Import symbol configuration]	A dialog opens to import symbol configurations in *.xml format (see Import Symbol Configuration with Application Variables).
	[Export symbol configurations]	A dialog opens to export the symbol configuration in *.xml format. Although no changes are made to the symbol configuration itself in the OPC UA Mapping Editor, the export function can be used, for example, if the symbol configuration is to be edited in another program. It can happen that entire projects have been passed on from the mapping editor and the original symbol configuration is therefore no longer available.
