Creating Object Dictionary Groups and Objects

You can use the Proemion Configurator tree structure to create, rename, or delete object dictionary groups or objects.

This chapter explains how to create object dictionary groups and objects.

The following example shows creation of the object RECEIVE MESSAGE PDO. This object is used to receive and log CAN messages.

Note

Since the firmware release 2.0.0 in February 2023, virtual CAN messages have been extended to log up to 32 variables for virtual CAN message in the CAN Receive Message handling (CRO) and for virtual messages in the OPERATION MANAGER. This allows users to pack more information into a single message.

To create the object, you need the CUSTOM CAN COMMUNICATION object dictionary group and then the RECEIVE CAN MESSAGES (PDOs) object dictionary group.

  1. Start the Proemion Configurator software.

  2. Choose FILE > OPEN from the menu and select the configuration file you want.

  3. In the tree structure, open CUSTOM CAN COMMUNICATION > RECEIVE CAN MESSAGES (PDOs).

  4. Right-click to open the context menu and select NEW OBJECT DICTIONARY GROUP > RECEIVE MESSAGE (PDOs)

  6. Click OK.

    ✓ The object RECEIVE MESSAGE PDO is created.
