Smart System Navigation


In the homogeneous

drive.web

environment, everything is available from anywhere. The

savvy tools

incorporate all the best features you would expect to find in a state of the art browser and a lot more.

Browse

Important! The

drive.web

environment is hierarchical. You can “browse back” to your previous view or “browse forward” if you have gone back to a previous view. You can also “browse up” from a function block level to the Signal Flow Diagram level, or from the Signal Flow Diagram to the device directory level.

Drill

Click on any active object to drill down into a more detailed level, then use “browse up” to return to your previous view.

Connection tags

These appear when there is a connection from a parameter in a function block to another parameter that may be shown on another page or in a different device. Click on the tag to jump to the other end of the connection. You can click “browse back” to return to where you just were.

Jump

A blue arrow on a parameter indicates that it has a connection linked to it. Hover over the link arrow and a menu arrow will appear that will show you the source or destination of the link. “Browse back” to return to where you started - so easy, so intuitive!
