Copying Structures to an IAG program

[BE 13]

Hi Everyone,

Apologies if this has been asked somewhere, I couldn't find anything.

I have a PLC program written for an Omron NX102 controller. There are multiple structure datatypes in this program, primarily to help keep variables for specific equipment together and readily accessible.

I want to create some IAG's for the HMI programming to reduce programming time, and these IAG's will need variables using the same structure's that are in the PLC program (will be using an NA series HMI).

Is there an easy/quick way to copy the structures from the PLC program datatypes into the IAG datatypes? I can't seem to paste anything into the IAG datatypes except for basic text (ie. a single member name for example), however I can copy the PLC program datatype (and paste them into Excel)

I do realise that some of the base types are different between the NX and the NA, but Sysmac Studio seems to automatically correct these when I type them in anyway.

No big deal if there isn't a way to just copy them over, it's not too much hassle to just manually put them in. But figured it can't hurt to ask 

Thanks in advance.

In your PLC/HMI project (not your IAG) navigate to the HMI-> Data types

At the top click the arrow next to root and select the controller. You can cut and paste the structure from here into your IAG project

Works a treat.

Thanks
