File Copy for NX/NJ

6 posts in this topic

Hello,

I have used RSlogix5K for years and I am now creating NX/NJ PLC program.  Is there a similar command to 'COP', which can copy ALL the data from a structured variable to either another equivalent structured variable or to a data array of some kind - e.g. a byte array?  I thought the MemCopy command might do this but I believe it only handles arrays, not structured vars.

Many Thanks

Graeme

MOVE will copy an entire structure. Just specify the parent tag.

 

If you want to put the structure in a byte array use ToAryByte

Since you mentioned Logix, I'll just add that Omron doesn't automatically convert anything. You must be mindful of your apples and oranges. :-)

They do have a lot of conversion instructions.

The MOVE instruction now does indeed convert data types (only certain combinations where you don't lose resolution however).
