Posted 22 Sep 2014 Hi All I'm tasked to create operator screens for the Magelis HMI touch panels, using Vijeo Designer(v6.2). I would like to animate an object based on information (metadata) from a variable. Typically "Variable_xyz.HiHi". How can this be achieved? I have gone through most of the help documentation but cannot find a way to retrieve metadata. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards Juan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 23 Sep 2014 I dont think you can do this. According to what I know only system variable have got metadata. I have never done what you are trying to do as most of the times these tags are created and activated in the plc with our function blocks....so dont take my word as a definite answer. Alternatively you can use expressions where you enter the variable. For instance instead of saying Level.hihi you can say level>x Have a look at expressions in the help file Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
