Changing the Device/PLC at Runtime (Indirect Device)
By specifying a virtual device/PLC (hereafter called "Indirect
Device") in a part's address, you can change the part's display by
changing the device/PLC at runtime. You can use indirect devices
when connecting multiple devices that use the same driver and the
equipment is part of the same series. With this ability to change
the device/PLC information shown on the screen, you can reduce the
drawing process and reduce the project size.
You can use the indirect device in address fields for parts or
animation, and in the [Common Settings] menu's [Global D-Script]
and [Global Functions].
You can add up to 64 indirect devices to a
driver.
When using a LT3000 series, ST3000 series or
GP3200 series unit, setting up indirect device reserves 1 MB of the
screen area for this feature.
