What am I doing wrong? I tried toadd an array[0..10, 0..5] of int to my hmi tag table, but this isn't accepted. I'm also not ableto link multidimensional arrays created in my plc datablocksto my hmi tag table. Am I doing something wrong or is this just not possible? Should I go with absolute addressing and overlap the multidimensional array with a 1d arrayto solve this case? Or is their a better way? I've added a screenshot of what I'm trying to achieve. Additional info -Software: TiA portal V11 SP2 update 5 -HMI: TP700 Comfort -PLC: CPU312 I hope to get a reply soon. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Jens Attachment 2d-arrayHMI.jpg (762 Downloads)

You will have to find an indirect method of referencing. w Sorry, searched it, did not find it, my apologies if I've created duplicate threads. I do find it curious when setting the datatypethe example mention a 2d-array (see screenshot first post). Examples: 0..99 or 0..99, 0..10 But if its really not possible, too bad .Is it possible in the newest tia portal (v13) ? Thanks anyway. Gr, Jens

K!ke Posts: 1299 Rating: (136)	Hello, it's still not possible with v13 K!ke Regarding your comment to the examples (0..99 or 0..99, 0..10): Configuring an array in the plc and in the hmi looks similar, so I think they just usedthe windowtwo times and didn't change the text. In plc you can use multidimensional arrays...

Thanks for the reply though, I'll have to go with absolute addressing then. Kr, Jens
