Is it possible to display a value in FTView SE using indirect addressing?
For example, I have an array called String_Array of type STRING[10], and a DINT called Recipe_Pointer.
In Logix, I can use the expression String_Array[Recipe_Pointer] to get the contents of one element of that array, based on the value of Recipe_Pointer. Can I do something similar in FTView?
Ordinarily, I'd do the indirect addressing in the PLC and generate a "SCADA Display Tag" to be viewed in FTView SE. But in this application, the array and the pointer are in different PLC's. So I'll need to do something like:
{[PLC1]String_Array[{[PLC2]Recipe_Pointer}]}
I already have comms between the two PLC's so I can if necessary send the pointer from PLC2 to PLC1 and do it internally like normal. But I'm wondering if there's a neat way to do this in FTView without having to do that.
Ideas?
