Displaying Structured Variable Values in Tables
Subsequent instructions describe an example of how an array of a structure is displayed in a table. To prepare, create the MyStruct DUT and the declarations in the PLC_PRG program.
TYPE MyStruct :
STRUCT
iNo : INT;
bOnStock : BOOL;
strPartNumber : STRING;
END_STRUCT
END_TYPE
PROGRAM PLC_PRG
VAR
arrStruct : ARRAY[0..6] OF MyStruct;
iSelectedColumn : INT;
END_VAR
Drag the Table visualization element to the visualization editor.
Assign the array variable arrStruct to the Data array property.
