Linked Libraries tab

Linked library objects contain elements that are shared with other libraries. A library link creates a relationship or dependency between two libraries. Library links can be bi-directional and a library can link to multiple other libraries.
Use the Linked Libraries tab in the decorator panel to add linked libraries and parameter links. Library links connect library instances while parameter links allow for information to be consumed between the libraries.
The
Linked Libraries
 tab consists of two panes:
  • Linked Libraries
    Linked libraries, displayed in the top pane of the
    Linked Libraries
     tab, specify the relationships between library objects. The links are applied as decoration to Logix code in place of parameters.
    Linked libraries can be configured to share dependencies on Logix content. For instance an AOI or UDT definition can be defined in a single library object, then linked to multiple library objects.
    Linked libraries assist the
    Application Code Manager
     user when configuring an object for instantiation. For instance, a regulatory control valve typically needs an analog input for instantiation.
    The
    Linked Libraries
     toolbar can be used to perform these actions:
    Action
    Description
    Add New
    Displays the
    Add New Linked Library
     dialog.
    Edit
    Displays the
    Edit Linked Library
     dialog.
    Delete
    Deletes the selected object.
    Show References
    Displays the
    References
    dialog. Libraries linked to the selected object are listed.
  • Parameter Links
    Parameters, displayed in the bottom pane of the
    Linked Libraries
     tab, can also be shared with linked libraries.
    Parameter links are used to read or write the parameter values between a library object and a linked library object. Parameter links display the direction of the flow of information.
    The
    Parameter Links
     toolbar can be used to perform these actions:
    Action
    Description
    Add new parameter link
    Displays the
    Parameter browser
     dialog.
    Delete selected
    Deletes the selected parameter.
Within the
Parameter Links
 list, there are two additional controls.
Control
Description
Ellipsis (...) button

 dialog.
