Description

Title

Here you can enter the title of the application template.

The title is also used as a name in the WAGO Solution Builder software.

Description

Here you can enter a description of the application template.

The description might, for example, describe the function of the application or document changes that have been made.

Version

Shows the version of the application template.

This field is only displayed by the WAGO Solution Builder software, not evaluated.

Author

Optional field:

Here you can enter the name of the application template developer.

Application
Documentation

Optional field:

Here you can save documentation for the application as a PDF document.

Example:

One possible example for saved documentation is the documentation for the program code of an application.

Generate Application Documentation

Automatically generates the project documentation from the IEC development environment as a PDF document. The PDF document is attached to the application template.

Open Application Documentation

Opens the attached PDF documentation.

Opens a dialog for navigating to whatever PDF document you want to attach as documentation.

This serves as an alternative to the project documentation generated by the IEC development environment used.

Device Image

Optional field:

Here you can enter a path to a graphic to use as the image for the application template.

Opens a dialog for navigating to a graphics file in order to attach it to the application template.

Template ID

Here you can enter a unique application template ID. The WAGO Solution Builder software identifies the application template on the basis of this ID.

If you want to edit an existing application template, a new application template ID must not be generated; the existing ID must remain constant.

If a new application template or a separate version is created that the WAGO Solution Builder software recognizes as a separate application template, you can right-click on the template and use the context menu to generate a new ID.

Template
Timestamp

Shows the timestamp for when the application template was last exported.

Required Firmware

Shows the required firmware version of the controller.

Parameter Set Objects

Shows a list of existing Parameter Set objects and allows them to be sorted with drag-and-drop gestures. The order defined here is carried over to the WAGO Solution Builder software.
