Title: Can AdvancedHMI create a new data item in my controller ?
Post by: gazroo on February 26, 2020, 06:07:28 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm a first timer with PLCs let alone AdvancedHMI, so sorry if this is a stupid question.

Is there a component I can drop into the main page which will allow me to add a standard data file into my controller, and specifying its type, e.g. integer, string, Boolean, etc. ?

One other additional question if I may: if I bind a BasicLabel to a PLC address of type string (e.g. ST9:0), why can I only enter a maximum of 16 characters when a string can hold up to 82 ?

Thanks

Modifying data tables is not possible through the AdvancedHMI driver.

What is limiting your string input, pop-up keypad? Or is it just not writing the full string?
