Array A INT[32]
Array Index B INT
Destination C INT
I am trying to move an Array (A) Element (A[2]) using a symbol (B) in ladder into a destination symbol (C)
C = A [ B ]
Result:
ERROR: Array Index of Operand 1 out of range at rung 1 ( 6, 0 ).
The documentation suggests that it is possible, but I am unsure if there is something I am doing incorrectly.
Note* Fixed indexing works with no errors
Is there another method to accomplish this?

Update 1:
If I go online to the PLC It does look like the array look up is working. Is the issue with the mov block?
Update 2:
I changed the memory locations which has caused a different error to appear. This error is clearer but does not explain the manual excerpt I posted further up
ERROR: Only the constant can be specified for the index of the array. at rung 5 ( 6, 0 ).
Update 3: Solution 1
I managed to hack together a proof of concept using pointers and indirect offsets
Update 4: Solution 2
For some strange reason things work as expected inside of the function blocks so I made one where the array is In-Out and with an input and output respectively.
Note* External reference to pointers inside of the function block produced an error.

Update 5: Solution 3
Now I feel like I am going crazy, I tried just the original code again and it works... I have no idea why and if it was not for all the documentation I would be lost as to why it works now...
Update 6: Conclusion
It seems to have array indexing work the array index must exist in the D Memory Block. The reason it did not work above is because I somehow had a MOVR block when I tested after moving all the variables to the D Memory Block. I hope this journey helps someone else :)
