Indusoft and Do-More Driver

[ddubs2248]

Has anyone had any success with User Data Type imported into Indusoft v8.1 SP3?  I believe I exported my .csv correctly (Without Structure).  I have tried two methods and neither has worked.

Method 1 - DoMore Driver on the comm tab [CSV File Name:]<IP Address>[:Port Number]

Method 2 - Using IWS tag integration

I have a UDT called TransducerStruct that contains (Span_High, Span_Low, Display, etc.) and then a user memory block defined as PT0-19.  I am trying to show the value of PT1.Display on the screen.  The tag integration method pulled in my transducerstruc and allows my to select DEV.PT1.Display, but no display is shown...just get the ?? 

If anyone has had success please let me know.  So far it just mainly seems to be that my tags from the UDT do not have GOOD quality.

I would think it's not available. I did an application with indusoft and at the time it wasn't available.

I think it is. I?m going to try one thing this morning and I?ll post up if I was successful or not.  I found a YouTube serious from AD about the point of view software doing exactly this.  Point of View is basically ADs branded indusoft.

So far no luck.  I am doing exactly what they are doing in the video, but I keep getting Invalid address (34).

Are there any arrays or strings imported as part of the UDT?

[ddubs2248]

No.  I did have a task that initialized all my transducers by using indirect addressing.  Used a FOR loop and stepped through PT1 - PT3 and initialized all the SpanHigh, SpanLow, AnalogHigh, AnalogLow values.  I just changed my program thinking that might have been the problem to have the task only initialize PT1 (SpanHigh, SpanLow, etc.). 

I have included screen shots of my PT_Struct and the memory block I created.  I am also exporting my .csv every time to ensure every change I make is being transferred to IWS. 

However, when I use my I/O address (in Indusoft) of PT1.AnalogLow it just returns ?.  It sees my PT_Initialize.Done (Heap Item) just fine.

Well I have tried everything....

Created a new UDT structure with only one item
Created a new user memory block
Created a new user heap item
Created a nickname for said user memory block and heap item and tried to reference tag by nickname
Used the station name with the csv path as shown in the video
Used the station name with the full csv path

It does not appear that you can grab any user defined data types in IWS 8.1 sp3. 
If I mapIO then I can change to a D0 or R0 memory location and pull it directly in, so I guess I will have to do that for this project...bummer

So its on the export from DMD to your HMI package. Sorry, did not quite understand. Not familiar with Indusoft.
I am doing a similar thing with my HMI, but mapping blocks of setup data in the HMI to Modbus registers and then reading a block at a time and loading it into a UDT array.

Indusoft is looking into this on their end.  The timer structures work fine, so I do not see why a User Defined does not.  But I will post up any feedback once I receive it!

[ADC Product Engineer]

Not sure if Indusoft has updated their driver, but the original driver did not support the user defined structures.

[ddubs2248]

Well good news is, indusoft could recreate it on their end. The newest driver does support UDTs, so they are escalating it up to the development group. I?ll keep you posted once I hear feedback.

[ddubs2248]

Just as an update, they are still working on adding this functionality.  Evidently their DOMOR driver manual is incorrect and they do not support UDTs, head items, etc.  They are working on updating the driver to include these features, but they have not determined a delivery date....
