Device Location and Project Windows

The project starts with the location of the sheet where the PLC is defined and which can be modified. The hydraulic pump design summary sheet number "0" is used.

Then, on sheet number "11", we can see all the definitions and characteristics of the manipulated PLC.

E3.series Project Management Window

The E3.series project control window can be used to completely organize sheets, use options and variants, inserted devices and panel options.

Then, with sheet number "11" open, the option "Add-ons" is selected and in "PLC Interface - Address Management" the modifications can be carried out.

With a few clicks, E3.series intelligently opens the Excel file and in it, it is possible to import project information into the list. Additionally, a ".txt" file can be created with all the information.

PLC Management Interface

In the "Test" button, E3.Series checks the presence of possible address duplications. And with the arrow pointing to the E3.series interface, we can export the changes made to the Excel document. In this example, we changed the name "FU start" to "FU start 123".
