Hello,
I'm creating a small application to operate a valve on an existing application between a CompactLogix and a FTView SE instance.
I created a pop up window to display the state of the valve and two buttons (open, close).
I pass two parameter tags to the display, the first with the PLC UDT address for the valve and the second with an HMI tag to display the name of the valve.
The state of the valve works correctly (it's a total of 16 equal valves) and the update and hiding of controls works depending on the valve state. However, when trying to make the Open and Close buttons work, FTView Spits out an error saying :
Failed to resolve ite's ID'"[PLC Shortcut]PLC_UDT_Tag.cmd.open' because it does not exist on any server
Tag '{"[PLC Shortcut]PLC_UDT_Tag.cmd.open} does not exist
Now, I can navigate to these tags on the different instances and have configured the button to command the tag directly without the placeholder and it works fine. So I'm really at a loss as to why it can read the status tags based on the placeholder, but can't write to them or find them.
Any thoughts or experiences with this before with any of you?
Edit: The message seems a bit cryptic as well to be honest and I've played with all sorts of combinations of the curly brackets without any luck.
