Hi all,
I'm working on my first RSLogix 5000 program. Thanks to the help of some of you guys I am taking advantage of the AOIs (add on instructions) and the UDTs (user defined data types).
Since I have a bunch of motors to control, I created a UDT named "Motor", containing the variables start, stop, amperage, speed, etc. I also created an AOI to start/stop the motor, using the UDT as a parameter.
I was very excited with this easy way of doing things!
The problem appeared when I tried to associate one of the UDT internal tags to an input. I cannot associate a member of the UDT to a input slot in the input card!!!
Am I wrong? Is there a workarund?
Thank you!
