Can not use Produced / Consumed (due to network / bandwidth limitations) so this is not an option
I have setup communication using msg files. I would like to simplfy the process I have by setting up the message block to update like in this document However instead of communicating with multiple controllers I want to communicate with single controller and just change the Source and Destination element dynamically in the program. Currently I am accomplishing what I need by just having multiple message instructions, but I could reduce the number of these just by editing a couple msg blocks dynamically at runtime.
The problem For example on a CIP data table read the Remote Element is located in the Message tag as a text the path is also listed as a txt I can see how to adjust the Remote element dynamically, but how do I adjust the destination element dynamically. Changing the destination element doesn't even appear to change anything within the Message tag so where does it store this?
