RSLogix 5000 - Can I change length of data type instead of re-creating?

6 posts in this topic

Hello I am trying to extend length of data type. I attached a picture I took. As you can see, Optalex_rev's data type is INT[45]. Is there a way to extend 45 to 46 without deleting them and re-creating them? Thanks for reading. Have a good day ! Edited by PaulKim1003

Yes, but I believe only offline.

You can try it online and I think it just won't let you. Then make sure to 'save' (to make sure you have all the current data), make the change, make sure the situation is safe, then download. Edited by b_carlton

If you need to do this online then the alternative is to rename the tag. I'll usually do something like (OPTALEX_RECV_del). Now you can recreate your original tag with the proper array value and replace it in the program. Edit: I can see now that you didn't want to recreate it but those are your two options. The downside to recreating is you'll have to replace the tag each place it is used in the program. I guess you figured that out hence your question. :) Edited by IO_Rack
