In TIA Portal when configuring hardware there is the option to configure a topology view aswell. Is this also possible in the current AX?

Hi Quinten ...

nice to have you with us :)


Hardware-configuration in SIMATIC AX LCE generally speaking does not have any "views" as of now. Everything is described "text-based", "human-understandable" and can be in a single or multiple yaml or json files.


Anyway, topology configuration (portinterconnection) is already available in HW config @ SIMATIC AX LCE.

If you have done your device config as well as the IoSystem ... you can easily type/add (for example) :


PortInterconnections:
  - Ports:
    - Ref: Controller/PLC_1/Port1
    - Ref: IoDevice1/IM155_6_PN_ST_1/Port1
  - Ports:
    - Ref: Controller/PLC_1/Port2
    - Ref: IoDevice2/IM155_6_PN_ST_2/Port1


... and so on.

The port properties (like the ref names etc.) although are defined in the device config itself.

Find more information here.


Hope that helps.


Happy coding :)

Stefan
