Dictionary

Use the
Dictionary
to manage variables and defined words. Create, edit, or delete variables and defined words from the dictionary instances. The grids of the Dictionary include:
  • Defined Words grid -- manages the defined words for a project. For example, create the defined word
    OK
    to replace the boolean value TRUE in program organization units (POUs).
  • Variables grid -- manages the variables for POUs and the device. Each device and POU has its instance of the grid. For the device, the grid displays global variables. For POUs, the grid displays local variables.
Open the dictionary grids from the
Application View
. The grids each display the properties for the local variables, global variables, or defined words. Open multiple grids simultaneously.
