    PlcIO Class
    In This Topic
    Class representing a PlcIOEntry object. A PlcIOEntry object is an entity that holds some data (hardware address, symbolic address, data type, CPU id) that can be assigned (booked) to a PLC IO terminal. Free PlcIOEntries are created in P8 project by importing an assignment list. Such free PlcIOEntries may then be booked onto existing PLC terminals. When PLCIOEntry is booked onto a PLC terminal, the data is transfered to the terminal and the entry is deleted from project.

    Public Properties
     NameDescription
    Public PropertyReturns the PlcIOEntry's hardware address.  
    Public PropertyReturns an array of objects cross-referenced with this object (i.e. having the same name - in case of functions - or otherwise associated) (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public PropertyReturns the project as number. The number is unique for all open projects in one session. The number changes when the project is closed and opened again. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public PropertyReturns the PlcIOEntry's data type.  
    Public PropertyReturns the PlcIOEntry's comment (function text).  
    Public Property

    Determines if the the StorableObject is locked.

    The StorableObject is locked when it was explicitly or implicitly locked.

    (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public PropertyDetermines if StorableObject is read-only (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public Property

    Determines if the the StorableObject is transient.

    The StorableObject is transient when it was created by default constructor and:

    it is a Page and it was not assigned a Project,

    it is a Placement or any class derived from it and was not assigned a Page.

    (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public PropertyDetermines if StorableObject is correct database object and is not deleted. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public PropertyReturns the object identifier as number. The number is unique for all objects of this type. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public PropertyReturns the PlcIOEntry's CPU ID.  
    Public PropertyReturns the project the StorableObject belongs to. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public Property  
    Public PropertyReturns the PlcIOEntry's symbolic address.  
    Public PropertyReturns the type of the object as number. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)

    Public Methodstatic (Shared in Visual Basic)Returns an array of all PLCIOEntries existing in the project.  
    Public MethodServes as the default hash function. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public MethodReturns object type name. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public MethodTries to lock current object in database for exclusive access. Throws Eplan.EplApi.Base.LockingException on failure. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public MethodTries to lock current object. If object is Placement - it's page will be locked as well; Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.E3D.Placement3D locks it's installation space; Function locks all it's connections and connection definition points; Page locks all placements from this page.
