6 Visualization of variables from a
PC Worx project
In order to visualize variables from a PC Worx project with
atvise® builder, the following requirements must be met:
– The variables to be visualized have been created in
PC Worx.
– The “PDD” checkbox for the variables is activated.
Figure 6 PC Worx: properties of a variable to be visual-
ized
If the “PDD” checkbox is activated, an xml file (“pdd.xml”)
where the relevant variables are stored will be created when
compiling the project.
When the project is sent to the controller, the generated
“pdd.xml” file is stored on the SD card of the controller.
In order that the variables from the PC Worx project can be
visualized, the contents of the “pdd.xml” file must be im-
ported in atvise® builder. To do this, proceed as follows:
• Right-click to open the context menu for the server.
• Select the “Acquire Datapoints” entry.

• Recommended procedure:
Prior to the first download, remove the “alarm.wav” au-
dio file from the atvise® builder software's project tree
(see Figure 12).
Please note:
It may take a few minutes to download a visualiza-
tion to the controller for the first time.
By removing the audio file from the project tree, it
takes less time to download a visualization to the
controller for the first time. In addition, the Flash
memory on the controller is not used unnecessar-
ily.
