Automatic reference updates for global variables

When renaming a global variable in the
Micro800
 project, the references to the global variable are automatically updated with the new variable name.
Automatic name changes are reflected in references to global variables in:
  • Ladder diagram Program Organization Units (POU)
  • Function block diagram POUs
  • Structured text POUs
  • User-defined function blocks (UDFB) in POUs
  • User-defined functions (UDF) in POUs
  • Controller configurations
    • Modbus mapping (L20E, L50E, and L70E controllers)
    • MicroLogix mapping (L50E and L70E controllers)
    • DNP3 mapping (2080-L70E-24QBBN and 2080-L70E-24QWBN controllers)
    • Data log (L20E controllers)
    • Recipe (L20E controllers)
  • Data protection (L20E, L50E, and L70E controllers)
After renaming a global variable:
  • References to the variable are updated with the new name.
  • For an unopened POU, UDFB, or UDF that is not password-protected, the associated editor automatically opens to show the variable name change.
  • The
    Micro800
     configuration page and the
    Data protection
     dialog do not open automatically. Manually open them to verify the name change.
  • For a password-protected POU, UDFB, or UDF in the project, a message appears stating that not all variable references were updated with the new name.
