Any conversion link has a child “Converter” component. To see it in Workbench, open the Edit dialog for the link.
-
If the link shows as a wire on the wire sheet, right-click it and select “Edit Link” (Figure 5).
The conversion link above uses converter type “Status Boolean To Boolean”.
-
If the link shows on the wire sheet as a knob on a component, go to the component’s link sheet view, then double-click the desired link for its Edit dialog. See Figure 6.
The link above is a “Number to Status Numeric” converter, allowing the integer “Change Of State Count” value from a DiscreteTotalizeExt to be used in a Math component (from the example shown in Figure 2).
Typically, you seldom need to edit links between components in NiagaraAX. One exception is when linking from the dynamically-created components of a station’s PlatformServices to other components, where you need to edit the “Source Ord” property from “Handle” to “Slot”. For related details, refer to the NiagaraAX Platform Guide section “PlatformServices binding and link caveats”.
Another possible exception may be with some conversion links, where a child Converter component has one or more properties (such links are indicated with a “Y*” in the Table 1 matrix of supported links). See Converter properties.
