the I/O variable file created from Unity Pro (.xsy) displays at the top of this
section of the dialog box.
Displays a list of the I/O variables found inside of the
Unity Pro I/O Variable export file (.xsy). Remains
I/O variable file grid
empty if the selected module does not have ad-
dresses (such as power supplies and CPUs).
All I/O points for the respective PLC card display in
the grid (including the points that are undefined).
The total number of I/O points and the order of the
data is determined from the topological address in
the .xsy file in combination with the PLC definition
inside of the AutoCAD Electrical PLC database file
(ACE_PLC.MDB).
NOTE Single and multiple row selection is allowed.
■ Address: Displays the address string from the
Unity Pro I/O Variable export file. This field is not
editable in the dialog box.
■ Description: Displays the comment field string
associated to the address from the Unity Pro I/O
Variable export file. This field is not editable in
the dialog box.
■ Terminal: Defines the placement of a terminal
symbol in line with the PLC I/O point. Select the
check box to place a terminal symbol in the
spreadsheet and drawing file. Since it is not
defined in the Unity Pro export files, it must be
defined before creating the AutoCAD Electrical
import spreadsheet.
■ Symbol Name: Displays the AutoCAD Electrical
schematic symbol file name to place in line with
the PLC I/O points. If the symbol is not found in
the schematic symbol library or the custom string
is not mapped to a symbol name in the mapping
file, the name displays in red. Right-click in this
column to select a file name from the icon menu
or to clear the symbol name.
The symbol name is derived from the
value in the Custom field of the Unity
Pro data and the symbol file name that
it is mapped to in the mapping file.
