I know you guys have got to be beat down over this issue. I apologize for causing further beatdown.
I have done a bit of research on the topic here on the forums. I know you cannot alias real world I/O to a UDT array and I think that would defeat the purpose of the array except in unique circumstances.
I have no problems with understanding what the UDT's are, I do have a problem understanding some of the mechanics of it though.
For example: I have 5 motors I want to program for. Me being lazy, I can just drop in a programmed SBR to handle all of this repetitive functionality. I guess my biggest issue is how do I actually get all the real world IO into the array and have it step through the iterations which are unique for each section that the motor controls?
Overloads, start PB, Stop PB, HMI Overrides are all individual animals dedicated for each motor so what is the mechanism that allows me to step through the 5 iterations using different real world IO? Rather how is that assigned in the Array?
It has been a long day and my mind is beat down, admittedly. I hope what I was trying to get across makes some sense.
