Dynamic limit texts in structure datatypes
Hello.
For our cicumstances we have a big benefit by using structure datatypes. But there is the following issue where I did not know a solution:
We need to use dynamic limit texts to display and archive alarm numbers (e.g. alarm number of a servo drive). But when we creating the data structure we have no name of the destination variable and it makes no sense to create the dynamic limit text with a variable because there can be a lot of variables based on the same datatype. So it is effortable to use a placeholder instead of a variable.
Is this possible?
e.g.:
Structure:
myStructure.alarm1
myStructure.alarm1_number
Limit text in the structure: $@Alarmtext for alarm1 with the error number of the drive; %????.alarm1_number
(The ???? are in this case a placeholder)
Variable based on myStructure:
Motor1.alarm1
Motor1.alarm1_number
Limit text in the structure: $@Alarmtext for alarm1 with the error number of the drive; %Motor1.alarm1_number
