The Automation Connect environment in detail
Variable Mapping tab
Variable Mapping tab
After connecting to different systems, you can define the data exchange between those systems using the variable mapping tab. Here you will be provided with a list of all connected variables, which then can be manually or automatically mapped (see following figure). The variables are again separated in output- and input-variables, whereas outputs are displayed on the left and inputs are displayed on the right, thus providing a virtual dataflow from left to right.
