CLX reading sub elements of an array
« on: May 12, 2015, 02:57:46 PM »
In the form activated event I'm getting a read error when trying to do this:

RecipeName = EthernetIPforCLXCom1.Read("gC20_Recipes.List[1].Name")

This does work:

RecipeName = EthernetIPforCLXCom1.Read("_JR_TestString")

Can I not read sub elements of an array? THX

Try the latest version because there have been several changes in the last few versions that affect arrays and sub-elements of ControlLogix tags.

I downloaded version 39.8g. It won't open in VB Express 2010. Do I need to upgrade to Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop?

If so do you have a link to VB Express 2013 download. There are a few different versions and I only need VB, not C#, Python etc.
