Hi everyone,

In my project ı want to use example faceplates. I understood how it works. But my problem is for every instance of object i must use a new pop-up screen. I have 52 analog equipment so it is not a good solution to create 52 pop-up screen for every analog instrument.

I try to made a universal udt with dynamic adressing but it gives an error.

how can i handle this problem?

you can see error from attachment

Thanks.

Hello,

My TIA version is 14.0.1. I am check all devices version and all are 14.0.1

Can you please look attached photo carefully, ı want to dynamize the udt(My purpose is reach the data block number dynamically)

Thanks

 I really should read before I reply

OK, you can not use a tag of UDT type to multiplex. You can used any other data type (and use TIAV13SP1 or later)  and it will work. Try it out, change the data type from Analog_UDTV1.0 to Int and you will be able to multiplex the address by going to Properties>Properties>General and select the field "Address" to open the dialogue box then in the "DB number" filed click to select HMI tag.

But that's not what you're trying to do. It looks like you will have several sets of analog values for different devices and you will create more than one DB for those analog values base on AnalogUDT.

in that case you will need to follow a different path of multiplexing which as you know requires TIA14:

Create a PLC Data Type with the tags you want. Assume it's named "udtAnalogs" and add it to a type in your Project Library

Create a global DB "dbAnalogs" and inside it add a a tag of data type Array[lo..hi] of udtAnalogs

Then create a new tag in  HMI tags in your WinCC device and connect it to the first array element of your dbAnalogs with data type "dbAnalogs"

You can then multiplex that array with a tag of data type UInt ( i thing it has to be UInt).

All that is explained in here

I just finished a project like yours and was using faceplates and udt also for the first time.

Here is my thread for this.

Multiplex Faceplate with UDT

Attached is a short description what i made.
