Is it possible to useText Input Fields in Symbols? The HMI Tag that I use in parameter is from the type udt.int.(AXC F 2152, newest PLCnext Engineer) The fields are not visible at the page that includes the calling instances(faceplates). best regards Peter
Hi Peter, Sorry for the delay. Here is a short video that demonstrates how to attach a UDT field of type INT to a Text Input field on a Symbol in PLCnext Engineer version 2021.0.1. It is also possible to define a Symbol Parameter of type ANY_NUM, connect that parameter to a Text Input field in the Symbol, and then - in the Symbol instance - connect that parameter directly to the INT field of the STRUCT variable in the program instance. If we have misunderstood the problem, please let us know. ~ Martin.
Ok, but why we don’t see change of value inside the HMI Symbol after „Enter Text:“ where we suppose to view and modify the variable on runtime webpage?
Best regards.


I also saw this behaviour once, but now I cannot reproduce it (and I have spent the past hour trying). I suspect that there is some temporary problem, where the value in the PLC was (for some reason) not transmitted to the web page. If I can reliably reproduce this behaviour, then I will send a problem report to the developers. ~ Martin.
