Hi all,
I'm curious about using the Parameter Tags #1-10 under the Global Connections setup.
- is the expected tag type a STRING?
- if so, would I be able to create a PLC UDT with these 10 strings and dynamically update them in code as HMI navigation into nested equipment modules takes place?
(to reduce the screen counts/setup by 'dynamic' parameter list passing)?
a simple UDT on the PLC might be:
ParameterTag1: STRING (could be the Program/Unit name itself)
ParameterTag2: STRING (could be the selected equipment module)
ParameterTag3: STRING (could be a nested equipment module)
ParameterTag4: STRING (and so on...)
ParameterTag5: STRING
ParameterTag6: STRING
ParameterTag7: STRING
ParameterTag8: STRING
ParameterTag9: STRING
ParameterTag10: STRING
I should be home soon enough to test, just seeing if anyone else has tried this.
