Open the Library Browser
You can edit the libraries in a browser with libraries grouped by type. The browser displays both the system's standard libraries and customer-specific libraries.
Open the library browser by selecting System | Libraries |
Libraries.
Libraries are divided into their own main folders as follows:
- System libraries - System’s standard libraries. You can copy components from a system library to your custom library.
- Custom libraries - Customer-specific libraries. You can create new libraries and add components to them.
- All libraries - All libraries combined in the same main folder.
In the main folders, the libraries are grouped by type into their own sub folders. You can search the library content using the search fields in the browser columns. You can change the order by clicking on the header of a column. The selection remains in the memory. When you select a main folder or a library type folder, the columns that appear in the right side browser pane are:
- Code - The unique identifier of the component or symbol. By default, the library rows are sorted alphabetically in the browser pane according to the code.
- Description - A description of the component or symbol.
- Active - When the column has a value of 1, the component or symbol is in use. When the column has a value of 0, it is deactivated. If the entire library is already deactivated, you can see this from the gray description text in the folder structure in the left-hand browser pane.
- Note - The column may have a label such as Configured - A standard library label. Library components have not been copied to a customer-specific library, but a single parameter for one or more components has been modified. For now, this is only possible for some libraries, for example PI diagram symbols.
Note:
- When you open the library browser, the last folder that was open is automatically activated.
