[Example] Creating a Custom Text Group for Organization Modes in the Libraries
Scenario: By default, the On and Off organization mode has two possible values (On/Off). You want to instead assign it a set of three possible values (On/Off/Standby). Because a text group with these three values is not available in the libraries, you need to create it first.
- System Manager is in Engineering mode.
- You created a customized library for that level by cloning the structure of the Global > Base library of the L1-Headquarter upper level.
- In System Browser, select Project > System Settings > Libraries > L4-Project > [global] > [base] > [texts].
- The Text Group Editor tab displays.
Here you can configure as many rows as required, each corresponding to an entry of this text group.
- Click Add new row :
a. In the new row, enter Value=0 and descriptive text=Off.
b. Click OK.
- Click Add new row :
a. In the new row, enter Value=1 and descriptive text=On.
b. Click OK.
- Click Add new row :
a. In the new row, enter Value=2 and descriptive text=Standby.
b. Click OK.
- Click Save .
- The Save Object As dialog box displays.
- In the Object name and Name fields, enter TxG_OnOffStandby.
NOTE: It is important to follow specific syntax rules when saving a text group:
a. The object name and name must have the following prefix: TxG_.
b. The prefix can be followed by a label that indicates the Organization Mode type.
- Click OK.
- The new text group object is available in System Browser.
- Exit and restart the Desigo CC client application.
- The new text group becomes available in the Text group drop-down list in the Object Configurator tab.
- The new text group will now be available to use when you configure an organization mode.
To assign this text group to an existing organization mode, see [Example] Changing the Text Group of an Organization Mode.
