Project Options...
Local: The POU will not be managed in a ENI data base, but only will be stored locally in the
project.
Besides 'Project objects' and 'Shared objects' there is a third data base category 'Compile files' for
such objects which are not created until the project has been compiled. Therefore this category is not
relevant for the current settings.
Ask for type of new objects: If this option is activated, then whenever a new object is added to the
project, the dialog 'Object' 'Properties' will open, where you can choose to which of the three object
categories mentioned above the POU should be assigned. By doing so the standard setting can be
overwritten.
configure ENI: This button opens the first of three ENI configuration dialogs:
Each object of a project, which is determined to get managed in the ENI data base, can be assigned
to one of the following data base categories: 'Project objects', 'Shared objects' or 'Compile files'. For
each of these categories a separate dialog is available to define in which data base folder it should be
stored and which presettings should be effective for certain data base functions:
1. Dialog ENI configuration / Project objects
2. Dialog ENI configuration / Shared objects
3. Dialog ENI configuration / Compile files
Note:
Each object will be stored also locally (with project) in any case.
The dialog will open one after the other if you are doing a primary configuration. In this case a Wizard
(Button Next) will guide you and the settings entered in the first dialog will be automatically copied to
the other ones, so that you just have to modify them if you need different parameter values.
If you want to modify an existing configuration, then the three dialogs are combined in one window
(three tabs).
If you have not yet logged in successfully to the data base before, then the Login dialog will be
opened automatically.
Options for 'Macros'
If you choose this category in the Options dialog, the following dialog box opens:
Options dialog for the category Macros
In this dialog, macros can be defined using the commands of the CoDeSys batch mechanism, which
can then be called in the 'Edit' 'Macros' menu.
Perform the following steps to define a new macro:
1. In the input field Name, you enter a name for the macro to be created. After the New button is
pressed, this name is transferred into the Macrolist field and marked as selected there. The macro
