Defining signal groups in the signal controller editor

You can open the signal controller editor to define signal groups for the following signal controller types:

  • Fixed time
  • Epics/Balance Local

For signal control procedures of the type Siemens VA, TRENDS, VAP and VS Plus, you do not define signal groups in the signal controller editor (Defining signal groups for Siemens VA, VAP, VS-Plus).

1.  Open the signal controller editor (Opening and using the signal controller editor).

2.  In the Navigator, click Signal groups.

The signal groups list opens.

If no signal group has been defined yet, only the column titles are displayed.

3.  Right-click in the list.

The shortcut menu opens.

4.  Click the desired entry.
