   ***Address** The address in the address space of this connection. While entering value, the address validation is being made. Address assignment format depends upon protocol type and usually comprised of a 'letter + digit' sequence. The letter indicates memory address space and the digit is an offset in this memory.

 +
 +The ability to set categories for objects has existed in WebHMI for a long time and is a convenient tool for structuring a project. As a rule, if you enter the correct name for a category right away, it remains unchanged. However, it turned out that renaming categories is not a very simple matter, especially when you need to do a lot of renaming – for this you had to create another category and transfer the necessary objects to it. (in this case, the project was also reinitialized). Now this can be done by simply clicking on the edit icon in the category name.

   ***Priority** - polling priority. This option is used in conjunction with the Strict scan function. Registers with high priority will be polled first, registers with priority normal in the second turn. If part of the registers with normal priority does not fit during the scan, this part is polled in the next scan, etc. Registers from internal connections are polled last (after registers on external connections) regardless of this setting, since they are read quickly on the local bus of the WebHMI device. If you do not need read current register in normal operation mode you can select "Read on demand" priority. In this case register will be read only when operator will request it manually.   ***Priority** - polling priority. This option is used in conjunction with the Strict scan function.

 +<wrap em>Starting from 4.1 fw there are extra functions:</wrap>
 +=== Read/Write mode settings ===
 +
 +There is now a convenient function for assigning register access mode – “read / write”, “read-only”, “write-only”. There are devices for some registers of which only writing is possible, for example, the control word of some frequency converters, refrigeration controllers, etc. For these devices a custom protocol.
 +Read-only mode is also useful for distributed systems with shared data. For example, this situation can arise when using the MQTT protocol, when the user can inadvertently override the data of another device.
 +{{ ::rw_mode_.png?direct&600 |}}
 +
 +=== Save and Apply ===
 +
 +When editing a project, it is often necessary to make several edits in different places in the project. Before, each small change was accompanied by re-initialization of the system, which in turn caused a heavy load on the processor in large projects. Now, there is a tool that allows you to make many edits and then apply them in one go, which ultimately speeds up the time to complete these operations.
