Creating datalinks

Create a datalink for the block valve

  1. Click the Datalink Stamper button. (You will place this datalink in the bottom center of the picture.)
  2. Fill in the parameter reference as XV-101/DC1/PV_D.A_CV. If you browse for the parameter reference, the system will automatically supply .F_CV (for floating point) after PV_D. Edit the parameter reference to have .A_CV (for ASCII) after PV_D.
  3. In the Datalink dialog box, in the Data Entry group, select None for the Type.
  4. Click OK to let the application configure the remaining fields in the dialog.
  5. Place the new datalink in the bottom center of the picture.
  6. Use the text tool to add the label XV-101/PV.
