Hi All,
I'm modding a panelview 1250 program. Changing the function of a few buttons. It's been a couple years since I've dealt with FT View Studio and Logix 5000. I've got the buttons completed and my code in Logix 5000 is completed. I've created the new tags in Logix 5000 but I cannot find any tag database in FT View Studio to import these to. I assumed there would be a database for the tags in the HMI program. In the past I would import these tags and then make the connection with the button. Now when I'm reading the HMI manual, it says that you can use data server tags, which you can browse for the tag offline to add them (or add them when connected). Will these be listed anywhere in the project tree in FT View Studio as a database so I can make the connections? When I double click on the HMI tags, there is nothing there having to do with the buttons but all of the buttons have the relevant tags on the connections tab. Where do the data server tags live in the program?
Also, on the connections tab, the tags for the momentary buttons look like this:
{[CLX1]MAN.ON_Asi.a1[9].2}
I can find nothing on this type of addressing other than the output listed on the back half (Asi.a1[9].2). What is the CLX1? Expression from XML?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'm using version 9 of FT and version 21 of 5000
