Hello All,

I am planning to generat Data Block dependent on variable inputs.

Example: I have created UDT's for every component in my machine.

Example UDT for Drive. If I have 3 Drives in the machine then I mention 3 as input so it can generate a data block with 3 servo data according to UDT.

Same way I have several other opitional components in my machine, I want to select components and create data block via variables.

I want to automate this, and create a data block with input parameters. As i understand we cannot do this Data block, but can we do in any other method..!

Should i have to use FC or FB or some thing else.

Is it possible?

Do you have any example for this.

Mvh,

I did something similar on the 300 series. It might also be possible to do on the new 1200 and 1500 series although with the new memory organization, it might be impossible.

In any case for now I have a question: since these data blocks created by the runtime cannot be instances of blocks or used by it before they are declared, one must then always perform data shifts that burden the cycle time; making such a programming technique impractical or useless. So, what data should these DBs hold, and for what purpose?

At runtime ? No way. 

This block i want to Automate..with Parameters.
