Hey All.
I have a series of screens I use in EasyBuilder Pro. I made set for a UDT and AOI that I use in my Compact Logix processors.
The screens all look at the same UDT. Its big and has a lot of moving parts, but EasyBuilder is fine with the UDT and everything works very nicely as I intended it.
Now I want to add more drives.
I don't want to have to re-create the PopUps and re-configure all my direct/indirect window settings and commands. It could make for a lot of screens in the project to manage as motor count creeps up.
Preferably. I would use the same set of screens over but make the button that selects which motor I'm selecting push the UDT tag name to the PopUp screens. One button would make the set of screens look at VFD_E_004, the next button would make the screens look at VFD_E_104. Both of the same tag type.
Has anybody done something similar they might be willing to share? Or have a theory on how one might accomplish such a task... I'm not seeing any such objects in EasyBuilder to make this happen for me.
Thanks for any interest!
