Hi, I want to do something in Unity Pro XL.

I need to build a DFB to test the output card of our project.
(Out 1 ON, then 5 sec later Out 1 OFF, then Out 2 ON, then 5 sec later Out 2 OFF.... and so on.)

The device module type can change, the slot position and the number of rack used in each project are almost never the same.

So I need a simple DFB, so we don't reprogram each time a new PLC is in the shop.

I want to know if anybody was able to use a String as an "Topological Address".

TEST OUTPUT.jpg

If I use a cmd "MOVE" with %Q0.1.04 (as in the picture) I can interact directly with the output.
But I cant find a way to use the String '%Q0.1.04' as an Topological address, because of the quote (')

Hope someone can help me šŸ™ƒ
