Mapping view

The Mapping view shows I/O references for attributes that have been configured for I/O auto assignment, and that have been assigned to a scan group through the IO Devices view. To open this view, select Mapping on the View ribbon. The Mapping view will also open if you select a DI object, scan group, or object assigned to a scan group in the IO Devices view.

The Mapping view shows I/O auto assigned attributes with resolved I/O references for objects that have been assigned to scan groups. The Mapping view lets you enter override values to change the I/O reference. You can also validate the I/O references.

You select the references that are displayed in the Mapping view by selecting objects in the IO Devices view. Manually configured references are not displayed in the Mapping view, nor are attributes associated with objects that are not assigned to a scan group. Only I/O references for the object or group of objects currently selected in the IO Devices view are displayed. You can select DI objects, scan groups, and application and system objects in the IO Devices view. If only the top level item in a device hierarchy is selected, all subordinate items are automatically selected. If, however, you select a subordinate item along with the top level item, only I/O references for the selected items are displayed. You can select multiple items at different hierarchical levels.

Note: Selecting a subordinate object will exclude non-selected objects within the device hierarchy, even if the parent object is selected.
