Visualization

Figure 21 still shows the corresponding block-specific visualization (e.g. 'ViEasyDevice') as available in the AmkEasyDev library block.

 

Figure 21: Block-specific visualizations

In the context of the frame concept of CODESYS V3, this can be linked with the corresponding instance of the 'EASY_DEVICE' block (e.g. PLC_PRG.fbPlc) (see Figure 21).

It can be used to create very simple projects (for test purposes, for example).

With some more complex visualizations, visualization elements that are not required can be deselected (see the green triangle in Figure 21). When 'boEnable' is set for the block, these elements are hidden in the visualization. They are not enabled in the corresponding block. The local variable 'wDisable' is integrated for this purpose (see the documentation for AmkEasyDev, for example).
