RE: Make Global Object
« on: February 19, 2024, 11:32:21 PM »
On the original post "Make Global object" by Tazmahal, I got up to step 10 of Archies instructions but "GroupObject"
was not in my toolbox. I tried putting the downloaded file under "Controls" and then it did pop up in my toolbox but it wouldnt let me drag it down to my form. Any ideas?

If you Build the Solution, do you get any errors?

No and i managed to get it to pop up finally. However i still cant get it to work. i have a data type called PE. Lets just say the name was "PE1". i have several submembers such as:
.I            bool
.Blk         bool
.Clr          bool
.BlkCTU    CTU
.Name      String
etc.

under the Grouped object file, i put a basic indicator. Under PLCAddressSelectColor2 I put ".Blk"
then when i drug a grouped object to my form, under "PLCAddressUDT" i put "PE1". I made sure
the ethernet address was right and it still wont work. If i had color #2 set to green, the basic indicator
just stays green

The IPAddress you checked, was that in the editing of the GroupedObject? Do you get an error in the BasicLabel on the grouped object?

i deleted the basic label and added the basic indicator. Here are some screenshots I took. I might have missed a step somewhere. 192.168.70.10 is the ip i need.

wow, after i went through the trouble of posting all those screenshots, i found one of my problems. I use inputs from several different PLCs. I routed all the traffic through one PLC so 90% of my forms all have the same ip address in ethernet driver. This particular input i decided to test is not the main PLC i pull information from. I changed it in the "groupedobject" config, but forgot to add a new ethernet driver for "192.168.70.10" on this form. However, after fixing that it is still not working.
