Siemens tia help needed

[stu]

Hi
I’m after some help , I have a plc program with a baumer verisens vision camera attached I have got the signals working ect but I have an issue with putting a parameter into to the vision to compare.
I have a product code that I would like to the vision
I have taken the product code(string) and converted to a character array and put it into a db .

I have then tried to move the data to the parameter data which starts from QB53
But I can’t see how to get the data to QB53?
I can move the parameters data to another array but not to the QB53
I only need a max of 10 characters to move ?
Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

 

[L D[AR2P#0.0]]

What data type have you got at QB53?

 

[stu]

I think it’s characters

 

[stu]

I have looked in the manual and and it looks like a string

 

[stu]

Forgot the picture

 

[L D[AR2P#0.0]]

Here's an example showing the data type at QB53 - I used a UDT

 

[stu]

How would that work I have a db with the array all ready would I have to create the udt in the existing db

Not in the existing DB, use the "Default Tag Table," and map an instance of the UDT to %Q53.0, like @LD is saying, but like this to include the "Length of data" parameter:

​

Caveats/Notes

• Assumes same byte order between TIA and Verisens
• I gotta admit, for all my whinging about Siemens and TIA Portal, this was actually pretty slick.

that was harder then i thought lol , i have glasses in the picture and not sure why .

thank you
