Long time reader here but don't post much as I usually find the answers I need in the forum search. I am trying to create a dynamic selection list on a Panelview plus standard 7 panel. Is there a way to have a dynamic list of variables that is referenced from a Linux system?
For more detail:
I have a Ubuntu 18 OS that a user creates and runs programs for a certain process. All of these program files are saved in the same folder and have the same file extension. The PLC is a 1769-L30ERM that controls outside automation processes. I can control processes by passing tags back and forth on the network at appropriate times ie. Start and Stop and Fault bits. A particular customer wants to be able to add new progams in the Linux system which would be new programs with the same extension as the previous programs and then be able to select them from the RA HMI. The way I am currently achieving this is through a string match. The program in Linux and the String entered in the tag must match and then the programs work together. Is there a more operator simple way to do this with Linux and RSLogix? Thanks for any input.
