Act_Org.exe is part of package Actuators Organizer and in
its algorithm is hidden power of years of experience.
Act_Org.exe prepares data for next using in
world standard software as

INPUT DATA .
After feeding Act_Org.exe with
appropriate information ( input data )
five text files are created
LIST OF ACTUATORS is used as input data. List can be fed to Act_Org.exe either as "csv" file
or across
clipboard. Before starting the project programmer has to be fed with some
appropriate information
which
usually are given by project designer. These information are :
Symbol - unique !!! identifier of actuator ; for maximum exploitation of this tool
create the symbol
according
to the following rules.
Comment
description of actuator - it is used as comment field where comment can
be used ( STEP 7, InTouch )
Type
M - pump, fan, conveyor
V - valve, flap,
MR - reversible motor
MQ motor with freq. converter ( NO
PID, if PID is used then freq. converter is driven
by block for analog input treatment )
VR valve with middle position ( two
outputs ), pneumatic cylinder
Input data can be passed to Act_Org.exe
in three ways either by opening "csv" file where particular data
are
separated by comma "," , by copying as table to
clipboard in MS Excel and pasting in Act_Org.exe to
table for
input data or writing this data to Input Data Table by hand.

Rules for symbol creating.
On the Input Data page you can
simply check and find out appropriate address of any attribute of the actuator.
Select
requested actuator in table .In "Address
container " is then displayed immediately address of attribute in
DB.
By clicking
to edit field is the address copied to clipboard. After this you can paste it
to S7 program in LAD,STL,FBD editor.
Open input data csv file.
Open file by "OPEN"
button 
. After successful
opening the Input DataTable is filled by your data.
If you
want generate S7 program with real I/O assignment then the file name of I/O
TABLE must correspond to file name of LIST OF ACTUATOR with sub extension _io.csv Example
: if we
have our LIST OF ACTUATOR in file : shuttle.csv
then I/O table must be in
file shuttle_io.csv.
I/O
labels MUST correspond to the Labeling rules
if they are expected to be assigned automatically during generating STEP 7
source file.
INTOUCH setting .
On InTouch setting page can be
selected which attributes of actuator will be inserted to InTouch tag database.
Default
setting contains all attributes selected. This selection / deselection is done
by checking checkbox at
particular
attribute label.
This
setting has no relation to generating datablock.
Datablock is generated always in full length i.e. with all
attributes.
For application
name and topic name see InTouch

DBLOAD tool
WinCC setting .
On WinCC
setting page can be selected which attributes of actuator will be inserted to
WinCC tag database.
Default
setting contains all attributes selected. This selection / deselection is done
by checking checkbox at
particular attribute
label.
This
setting has no relation to generating datablock.
Datablock is generated always in full length i.e. with all
attributes.

for VARIABLE IMPORT tool
Generation action .
Once an input data are in Input
Data Table the button "GENERATE"
can be pressed.
If input
data was pasted from clipboard or was typed by hand you are asked to find
directory where the
output files
are stored.
If input
data was opened from "csv" file than output data are placed to the same directory with using input
file name.
During
generation action the program goes through LIST OF ACTUATOR and create for them
- DATA
AREA in DB and MEMORY BITS
- FUCNTIONS
with basic motor / valve operations.
The
functions (FCs) which are "linked" to the source file are read
from ActFCs.awl ,
stored in your Act_org application directory. Therefore the inner of FCs can be changed by user according his
demand. After
installation of the package standard FCs are placed in ActFCs.awl. Interface
( parameters ) of FC may NOT be changed otherwise data inconsistency
will occurred and S7 program will not be compiled successfully.
For
example : Your input file has name "shuttle.csv" and it is stored in C:\PLCDATA\MARS\
directory.
Five files are
created after generation:
1. C:\PLCDATA\MARS\shuttle.awl
text file for Source file Editor STEP 7 only UDT and DB
2. C:\PLCDATA\MARS\shuttle_proccess.awl
text file for Source file Editor STEP 7 UDT, DB, and all FCs
3. C:\PLCDATA\MARS\shuttle_InT.csv
csv file
for InTouch DBLOAD tool
4. C:\PLCDATA\MARS\shuttle_vex.csv
csv file for
WinCC IMPORT tool
5. C:\PLCDATA\MARS\shuttle_cex.csv
csv file for
WinCC IMPORT tool
