Aluepohjat

Aluepohjat help simplify the configuration of a larger project where many objects are repeated. For example, a hotel. Here, each room type can be set up as a template and then linked to the corresponding rooms. If the template is now adjusted, the changes will affect all linked rooms.

Note: A separate license is required for Aluepohjat. Without this, none of the template interfaces can be used.

Prerequisites

To use Aluepohjat effectively, you must first check if the following prerequisites are met:

• Each area must have a separate interface.
• Each area must have the same addresses.
• Each area can also have multiple interfaces.

Creating Templates

To create a template, you first need to create a template under the context menu Project ▸ Aluepohjat. The template is also a page for visualization. This can be used optionally.

Under the template, you can now create any structure, e.g., by room type. In the individual elements, an interface must be selected. However, this is only fictional and defines only the number of interfaces and their links.

Assigning Templates

To link a template, both windows Aluepohjat and Structure must be open. In addition, the Explorer in Structure must be in Edit mode.

Then, a Page from the Aluepohjat is dragged onto a folder in the Structure. It does not matter whether other elements are already present in this folder. A template can exist alongside regular elements.

Then, the Interface can be selected. For this purpose, at least one element must have an interface.

If you now open an element from the Structure, you can use the PLC preview.
