My Automation module integrates a Function Block type and a HMI symbol. Is it possible to define the type of the HMI Symbol parameter as FB type? Advantage: During instantiation of the HMI symbol I only have to indicate the required FB instance.
Hello.
As I can understand, you have to use UDT (user defined data type) for your Symbol parameter. In this case you will be able to transfer complex amount of data as single tag. In your FB, you have to activate HMI access for UDT data structure.
Best regards.
Thanks Oleksandr, your idea works but needs data to be copied within the PLC code and from the HMI page.
What I am looking for is a deep inegration of a Function block type and a related type of an HMI symbol. This should make it possible, that I only need to enter the instance name of a Function Block when instantiating the HMI symbol.
As I know, it is impossible now.
Let support team make me correct if there is some hack about that.
Some times customers find out unexpected solutions for the tasks.
Please let us know, if you are lucky one)
Best regards.
