I am tying to find a way to copy 10 words from my input area into a structure I have mapped out for my device. What is the best/simplest way to accomplish this in Portal?

In a 1500 (never tried for a 300) but you can create a UDT for your data and apply that UDT to an IO range. Then if you have the same UDT in a DB you could just use a single BLK-MOV command.
Is that kind of what you are looking to do?

This is also true for the 300/400.
Also, besides the UDT it also works with a STRUCT in the same way.

OP
How do you apply the UDT to your input addresses?
You enter the address for the first bit, and assign it to the UDT, as JOLTRON says. It then creates the rest of the structure for you. Super easy, especially for drive telegrams.
Note that this only works for I&Q tags, not M. No idea if there is a real reason, or if they just don't wanna take away from how special DBs are.
