Master Switch |

The master switch looks like a slide controller with up to 16 positions. On the edit mask you can specify up to 16 bits, and to each position you can assign one or more bits to be activated by. When configuring a master switch for the first time, you have to specify the number of positions and also the bits to which they are connected. Then you click the button ‘contacts’: a matrix of size ‘count of positions’ x ‘count of bits’ is displayed. Click the bits here which are to be activated at each position.
If the master switch is directed vertically, the position ‘1’ will be at the bottom, if it is directed horizontally, the position ‘1’ will be at the left side.
If you have entered a new bit into the table, please note that you have to leave the new row with the cursor (e.g., with the ‘arrow down’ key), so that the operand is accepted.
If you want to manipulate the position with the PLC program you have to use a word-poke.
