Hi,
I am experimenting with using UDTs for organizing my program data, and I find that I get the same functionality as if I had used FBs + instance DBs.
The problem is that there will be differences between the final values (that are found to be good at commisioning) and the initial values (that were based on my best guess at time of design).
If I download a new program the actual values will be overwritten with the initial values. The initial values comes from the declarations in the UDTs.
If I upload the actual values from the CPU to the offline project, then the DBs are out of sync.
I think now that I have to use shared DBs with 'regular' data declarations (i.e. no UDTs).
The negative aspect with this is that it takes a lot more editing work to get the same thing done.
How are you guys doing in this respect ?
How to structurize the data AND be able to keep the actual values ?
NB. Pardon me if this thread is similar to a previous one I posted. The difference is that I thought that FCs + Shared DBs + UDTs would be better than FBs + instance DBs.
