The current version of the Unity IO Assigner is V1.3 which provides support for MODICON M340, M580 and Quantum PACs.
The Unity IO Assigner allows users to Drag and Drop Variables onto the Channels of IO modules of MODICON Unity PACs. The source of the Variables is a Tab Delimited Text file that can be easily created from any spreadsheet or database. The source file only requires a column for the Variable Name and a column for the Variable Comment.
V1.3 adds several new features:
- Pasting of Tab Delimited Variable Name and Comment data from the Windows Clipboard into the IO Variables List pane
- Automatic assignment of Variables to IO Channels from an Extended Tab Delimited Variables List File. The format for the file is:
Name Comment Bus Drop Rack Slot Channel
- Pasting of Extended Tab Delimited Variable content from the Windows Clipboard into the IO Variables List pane with automatic assignment to IO channels
- Automated Mapping of M340 IO Channel data (when using Topological Addressing) to Modbus Client accessible addresses
- Automated Mapping of M580 Local IO (Topological or Device DDT) to Modbus Client accessible addresses
- Automated generation of EIO Quantum Drop Analog Channel Diagnostic Variables
Variables assigned to Quantum and M580 EIO X80 IO Channels are automatically Aliased to the Device DDTs created by Unity Pro.
Device DDTs created by Unity Pro are automatically renamed using an appropriate 'topological like' syntax.
Quantum and M580 EIO X80 Drop's IO Channel data can be automatically located to Modbus State RAM Addresses for direct access by Modbus Clients.
A Report (documentation) can be generated for the Hardware Configuration that includes all Variables and addressing assignments.
Example Report after execution of 'Assign All Open IO Module Channels as Spares'
