You use this dialog to manage the contents of the Channel Type select list on the Channels dialog.

Channel types are associated with a given card type. (Card type is constant for all of the channels on a given I/O card.) Although channel type names must be unique within a given card type, the software does not require channel type uniqueness across the various card types in your project.

Note that this dialog is crucial for the DeltaV interface. Only card types and channel types that you download from DeltaV are acceptable values for data that you will be publishing for DeltaV. Be careful not to edit or delete these values.

To open the Channel Types dialog, in the Wiring module, select Tables > Channel Types.

Card type

Allows you to select a required card type from this list. To add a new card type, select Tables > Wiring Equipment > Types.

Find channel type

Allows you to find a record in the data window. You can type the item you want to find and the software selects the record in the data window below.

Data Window

Displays all the available channel types and their descriptions. You can select a value that you want to edit, or select New to add a new data row.
