I'm a big fan of aliasing I/O channels to P&ID device names, but with all the new built-in I/O features, how are the cool kids aliasing?
The ability to alias UDT members to I/O datatypes would be convenient, Like creating a single tag that encapsulates one complete channel, with all functionality. 5094-IF8 as an example, if we could alias UDT members of CHANNEL_AI_DIAG:I:0, AB:5000_AI_Channel:C:0, and CHANNEL_AI:O:0.
I guess a bunch of copy or move instructions could suffice? separation of concerns IDK?
