Signal List

The Signal List widget allows you to display all signals used by the machine and export them.

Consider the Signal List shows only signals with data.

Note that there is also the Signal State widget.

Configuration

The Signal List is always auto-refreshed.

The widget is available for the Model Dashboard.

It is highly recommended to adapt a Machine Page (Model Dashboard) centrally via the Machine Page Layout. If you need to configure the Machine Page for the selected machine only, proceed as follows:

  1. In the selected Machine Page, select Manage Layout > Add widgets.

  2. Select the desired widget. A preview will be shown.

  3. Click Apply. This forwards you to the widget configuration dialog with the options described below.
