SMX Programming Manual for the SMX Module - OEM Automatic AB

Logic Diagram
SafePLC saves the configuration, the program sequence and the chosen
parameterization as a Windows documents with the file name extension "*.plcSMX".
The logic diagram is subdivided into field, which can take up the function blocks. The
function blocks are inserted and displaced within this raster. Overlapping of function
blocks is not possible.
Within the logic diagram the two views "terminal diagram" and "logic diagram" are
available for the user.
The programmer is able to toggle between these views as desired:
Menu: View -> Change layout
Keyboard: Crtl + Tab
Control button in the toolbar "Drawing Aids"
Permanent status display:
In the left upper corner of the logic diagram you find a status display with the
following meanings:
Active logic diagram view: Text "terminal diagram" or "logic diagram" in
compliance with the chosen context.
Actual diagram access: Padlock symbolizes locked diagram.
Compiler status: The background colour of the status display has the
following meaning:
o Red: Logic diagram has not been compiled or is faulty
o Green: Logic diagram has been compiled without faults, diagram
can be transferred to the SMX-system.
Terminal Diagram
The terminal plan describes the external port assignments in a SMX-system to the
chosen sensors and actuators. When creating a new diagram (File->New...) the
terminal diagram shows all available inPorts and outPorts, as well as further sensor
interfaces (encoders, analog sensors).
Definition of sensor interface:
Determination and parameterization of sensor interface and analog interface
Definition of inPorts and outPorts:
Selection and parameterization of inPorts and outPorts
When inserting a new or double-clicking on an already existing function block, the
associated attribute editor is opened and the parameters can be modified.
