I have a project made in RSLogix 5000, v10. It has an Array of UDTs, used to store 500 recipes. I have to modify the UDT to create new values to store with each recipe.
If I modify a UDT that is in use, it resets the values all to zero. So instead I created a new UDT with everything the old one had plus the new stuff needed.
Now I need to copy all my old recipe data into the correct places in the new recipe data. I don't think I can do a direct copy because array sizes don't match (or maybe I can?) And manually copying each piece of data from recipe to recipe in the offline project is not practical. I tried exporting the tag database but didn't see the stored offline values in the CSV file.
I'm thinking of creating a small temporary section in the program that would just index through the old recipe array one at a time and copy each piece of data separately into the correct destination in the new recipe array. Would this be the most efficient way to do it?
