Hi Guys, I just started to make an interface for an HMI system for our siemens safety plc's on our line. I am using step 7 for the sts/lad blocks, and protool 6 sp3 for the interface.
From the get go, it has found it self to be a rather useless program, very much propietary. Our scenario. 13 lines, each with about 10 statios, each with 3-6 modules = 5000 IO's
We need to make a screen for each modules. It was proposed to show the status of each mopdules io, by making a unique screen for each, and statically inserting the textual description. I had expieremented with multiplex-tags. and have succeful made a system to jump from module to module, with chagingn the input masking.
My question is. Is it possible to create an array of strings, with the io address and description shown, for each station, while creating ONE generic status screen, that would handle every module?
I am sort of hitting the wall with this app, as you can't seem to create objects during runtime at all.
