DB Dump to HMI tagdatabase

T.Ekvall

Hi experts

Working on a project where many DB variablesshould be read by a HMI-system.
Is there a way to export DB data, and not just get the [ names, type, initial value and comment ] but also get the DB address?

Thru DB "generate source" or simple CopyPaste to Excel I get the names, type, initial value and comment. But not the Address, which also should be in the HMI tag database.

Is it possible to also export the address column, or do I have to enter this manually?

If I understand this right, the program only supports "a list of all data blocks in this project"

(* [ CopyPaste from HTML Help for InfoBrowser...]

The program information is listed in the following spreadsheets:

• System functions (all SFCs and SFBs which exist in this project irrespective of whether they are called or not).

• OBs (a list of all organization blocks in this project)

• DBs (a list of all data blocks in this project)

The individual lists contain information on:

• Absolute name of the block

• Symbolic name of the block

• Storage location of the block in the project

If you use Excel 2003 or higher for the export, a pivot table is automatically generated in addition to the list of the blocks. This table shows all used blocks and their number.
