Hi!
I am looking for some kind of functionality where I can show the contents of a structure on the screen for debugging.
My original idea is that maybe I export the data to a text file then read the text file, but just wanted to see if there was something easier?
I have few questions about what you want to do.
Are you using mappView or VC4 ?
Did you want to display a specific structure or this will be dynamic ?
If it’s dynamic is it a little amount of variable or every variable available ?
Regards,
Florent
Hi Florent,
Mappview, sorry.
I pretty much want it to look similar to the Watch (so, dynamic) window in Automation studio. Formatting is not too important as it’s only for technicians.
Hi Adam,
Ok thanks, for mappView if we use default technology of mappView it’s OpcUa so you will be able to “Watch” only OpcUa variables.
I’ve developed a OpcUa client browser widget for mappView in AS6. Still work in progress. I didn’t check if there is a way to get value of a complete structure but I could take a look. Maybe it could be a new feature with a possibility to open a popup and register variables to watch.
Else idea of export data to a text file and read could be ok, but I think it will be time consuming and may result in big file to manage.
I don’t know if you are familiar with mappCockpit, but in mappCockpit in the trace part you can trace OpcUa variable as well as Motion variable. For OpcUa variable you need to type the variable nodeid without explorer.
If you are using AS6, I will take a bit of time in next week to take a look at my OpcUa client browser widget.
Regards,
Florent
