1. Name: An individual name can be assigned to each register. The value can then be accessed directly with the register name (R_temp1).
2. Id: A unique ID is assigned to each register. Many commands require this Id to address the correct register. In PLCDesigner you can also reach the Id with the beautified name ID{R_temp1}
3. Default value numeric: Value the register has after power on. By default, the register is created as an integer register (signed 32Bit). If a floating point number is specified as default value, a float register (23 Bit Mantissa, 8 Bit Exponent, 1 Bit signed) is created.

Default value string: Value the register has after power on. Strings with a maximum of 200 characters are allowed.

4. Synchronize register: If synchronisation is selected, the register value is automatically shared with all connected modules in the network.
5. Description: A description can be added to each register.
6. Change macro: The macro is called every time the register value changes.

1. Name: The name can be used to access the defines in the macros.
2. Default value: Value of the numerical or string define.
3. Description: A description can be added to each define.

1. Name: An individual name can be assigned to each array. The value can then be accessed directly with the array name and array index starting with 0 (A_temp1(0)).
2. Id: A unique ID is assigned to each array. Many commands require this Id to address the correct array. In PLCDesigner you can also reach the Id with the beautified name ID{A_temp1}
3. Array Editor: Opens the array Editor
4. Synchronize array: If synchronisation is selected, the whole array is automatically shared with all connected modules in the network.
5. Description: A description can be added to each array.
6. Change macro: The macro is called every time a array value changes.

1. Array type: Selection of the array typ (integer or float). This option is only available for numeric arrays.
2. Size: Specifies the size (number of entries) of the array.
3. Array end typ: This parameter defines whether the automatic filling of the array is aborted at the end or the write pointer automatically wraps around and overwrites the values again from the beginning.
4. Import option: It is possible to fill the array with values from a CSV file. You can also choose whether the current values from the file should be entered permanently in the PLCDesigner or whether the file should be linked ( data changes in the file are then always automatically adopted in the PLCDesigner).
5. Fill array: There are different possibilities to fill the default values of the array automatically (e.g. with zero, with random values).
6. Default values: Values the array has after power on

1. PLC RS485Baudrate: Set the baud rate for RS485 communication between the core and the satellite.
2. Baudrate: Sets the baudrate of the master RS232 (Pin 1.19 RxD and 1.20 TxD). This setting is not available for all modules.
3. RS232 Macro: The receive macro is called as soon as the specified number of bytes is stored in the receive buffer (see point 3). If more bytes are received until the macro is fully processed, the receive buffer can contain more bytes. This setting is not available for all modules.
4. RS232 Receive trigger: Specifies the number of bytes after which the receive macro is called. A retrigger takes place after the reception macro has been completely processed. This setting is not available for all modules.
5. Hardware Editor: Opens the Hardware Editor

1. Output pins
2. Input pins
3. Analog inputs
4. RS232 Master interface

1. Name of the output pin: An individual name can be assigned to each output. This name can be used to access the output in the macros. For example, to set the output with the name 'Qout1' to one, you have to use the command #HBW Qout1, 1.
2. Assigned register:: A register can optionally be assigned to the outputs. The value of the Register changes automatically when the state of an output pin changes. If the register value is changed, the respective outputs change analogously. If you want to set the output of the selected port pin to one, as in the example above, you can also set bit 0 of register 'R_out1' to one

#VRI ID{R_out1}, (bitS(R_out1, Qout1Bit0)).

3. Default state of the output pin after power on

1. Name of the input pin: An individual name can be assigned to each input. This name can be used to access the input in the macros. For example, if you want to read the state of the port pin with the name Din1, you must use the calculation

(bit(Din1))

2. Assigned register:: A register can optionally be assigned to the inputs. Each time an input pin is changed, the register is automatically updated. If you want to read the status of the output with the name 'Din1', you can alternatively read bit 0 of register 'R_Din1':

(bitT(R_Din1,Din1Bit0))

3. Falling edge macro: The macro is called on each falling edge of the port pin.
4. Rising edge macro: The macro is called on each rising edge of the port pin.
5. Both edges macro: The macro is called on each edge of the port pin.

1. Name of the analog input pin: An individual name can be assigned to each analog input. This name can be used to access the analog input in the macros. To read in the current analog value, use the calculation (analog(Ain1)). The calculation returns a value between 0 and 4095. You can scale the value in the settings (see points 4 and 5). The calculation  (analog(Ain1,1)) returns the user-defined value.
2. Assigned register: A register can optionally be assigned to the analog input. Each time the analog value changes (under consideration of the hysteresis see point 8), the register is automatically updated. The value can then be accessed directly with the register (R_Ain1). The register always contains the user-defined value of the analog channel.
3. Register type: Selection of the register typ (integer or float).
4. Scale value 1: The analog channel returns a value between 0 and 4095. The value range of the output can be adjusted individually with the settings scale value 1 and scale value 2.
5. Scale value 2: The analog channel returns a value between 0 and 4095. The value range of the output can be adjusted individually with the settings scale value 1 and scale value 2.
6. Limit 1: Two limits can be assigned to each analog channel. There are different macros that are called depending on the value and the limits.
7. Limit 2: Two limits can be assigned to each analog channel. There are different macros that are called depending on the value and the limits.
8. Hysteresis: Specifies after which change of the analog channel the register value is changed and the affected macros are called.
9. Analog macros: Various macros can be assigned to each analog channel, which are called depending on the value and the set limits.

1. Baudrate: Sets the baudrate of the master RS232
2. RS232 Macro: The receive macro is called as soon as the specified number of bytes is stored in the receive buffer (see point 3). If more bytes are received until the macro is fully processed, the receive buffer can contain more bytes.
3. Receive trigger: Specifies the number of bytes after which the receive macro is called. A retrigger takes place after the reception macro has been completely processed.

1. Module info macro: The macro is started when changes occured regarding the connected modules.
2. Network info macro: The macro is started when changes occured regarding the network connection of the module.
3. PLC start macro: The macro is started when PLC has bootet completly.
