Dialog Box Settings
This is the DDE access name that corresponds to the PLC that you want to monitor. If the DDE access name that you enter does not exist, then the wizard will ask you if it can create it for you. Remember that you will also need to create a corresponding DDE topic in your DDE server. Base Tagname This wizard will create several tags that it needs to get the selected status information out of the PLC. All of the tags created for this particular wizard will begin with the Base Tagname. It is recommended that the Base Tagname be the same as the DDE Access Name, and that it be fairly short (10 characters or less). Processor Model Select the model of processor that most closely matches the processor that you will be monitoring. Mainly, the model information is used to draw the appropriate faceplate. It is also used if the PLC is "enhanced", which can affect whether some information is actually available in the PLC. Create These Status Pages Check all of the status pages that you wish to create. If you click on "Processor Only," then only the processor faceplate will be constructed. Display Last Fault Code Info If you check this box, then the user can get a text description of the last major fault, rather than just a fault code. User Can Modify Watchdog If you check this box, then the user can change the program watchdog setpoint. Use this option with caution, since setting a low watchdog can cause the processor to fault.
