Connecting a string (in array) in WInCC Flex, problem
- Thread starter userxyz
- Start date
Do you have an array of 500 strings, each with 22 bytes ?
That is 10 kB. What update time have you set for this huge array tag ? Remember that an array tag is updated in one chunk, both for reading and writing.
I think that maybe you have hit a limit. Try to use a smaller array, just as an experiment.

Hang on.
edit: Looking closer, the second screenshot does not show the PLC variables configured as tags.
In other words, that second screenshot does not tell us anything about what you have done.
Not that it explains anything, but at least you must provide the correct information on how you have setup your project..

hmm
I think that is what I'm seeing now,
I think I will change things so that I don't need strings in my table anymore.
For INT, DINT, etc... I can make 1 ARRAY tag / columb, but if this doesn't work for strings, then I will need to change things to avoid strings in the table

I thought the problem was that you had it configued, but it didnt work at runtime - because you wrote "it doesn't work anymore" (the "work" implies that it was at runtime, and the "doesn't work anymore" implies that it did work before).
But the problem is that you want to configure the tags as one string array tag. It simply not possible.
You can connect a normal string tag to a PLC string variable in an array no problem.

I really have to do my best to explain it well in english, I'm sorry for that
Yeah, I was trying to do the whole concept with only 128 tags. But when making a table, then each colum may contain 1 tag (array). Not 100 tags or more / column, or my tags are gone in no time.
So, the strings problem, I will solve that one by using DINT instead of strings...
thanks a lot.
PS, I still have 1 problem. Check latest post. Again with an array, I'm not familiar with arrays, that's clear I think
