Also make sure your program is in run-p. Right click your variable and click modify now. Check out my screenshot attached! Test it and let us know if it solved your problem.

billwest Posts: 510 Rating: (120)	Jens_app gave an excellent, detailed answer. The simple answer is "AIs.inlet_flow.FEN" AIs = datablock name inlet_flow = the structure name in the datablock FEN = the element name in the structure You have to compile the PLC data type and the DB before the Watch table will accept it. Good luck billwest

dsout Posts: 66 Rating: (5)	Hi AZRAIQI, PLCSIM Plus V12 SIM table does not support access for User Data Types in DBs. I have a strong suspicion that this will be fixed in PLCSIM V13 SP1, but for now you can just use a STEP7 Watch Table like the other posters suggested. Under "watch and force tables" add a new watch table and put "AIs".inlet_flow.FEN into the table. Now you can view and control the value. To change a value, you must edit the "modify value" field and then click the lightning bolt button on the toolbar.
