Open Discussion / Can AdvancedHMI create a new data item in my controller ?
« 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
