STS Variables

STS Variables are place holders that are used at different places to set attribute values of STS objects from their respective context.

Example for HMI Text related to the XCBR.Pos.stVal of the Circuit Breaker QA0. :

"<conductingequipment.name> Position"

will be resolved to

QA0 Position"

Variables can be used for

  1. Setting of attribute values in the Signal List

  2. Setting of Logical Node Prefixes
