I've been trying for several days now to get a String from my CompactLogix PLC over to my GE HMI. Does anyone have any experience with this exact scenario?
Alternatively, does anyone know the structure of a String data type in PME?
RSLogix for example is an Array of SINT for the .DATA and a DINT for the .LEN parameter. Those together make a structure of a STRING data type.
Does anyone know how Proficy Machine Edition stores Strings?
I can't seem to directly address a string data type from PME to RSLogix. I'm building a Recipe Table and need the ability to store a string for the Part Name. I cannot for the life of me seem to get this to work.
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Before it's suggested, Yes I tried to directly map to the .DATA array of the string element. I have also tried creating a new tag in RSLogix that is a SINT array and CPS the string data to it. I have tried DINT's for that procedure as well. Any other thoughts are appreciated.
