Moving/Copying the Contents of a Structured Data Type

[TheBestBobEver]

Hello All,

In the Rockwell world, I can easily copy all the contents from one User Defined Data Type Tag to the other by using a COP (Copy)

For instance, Copy Profile00 to Profile01 with a length of 1, would copy all the contents of Profile00 over to Profile01 (Profile00.Name, Profile00.Height etc.)

How can I accomplish this in GXWorks3? Seems like every type of Mov I do errors because I'm trying to move an SDT....

 

Thanks for the help!

I just use a ST box and write Structure2:=Structure1;

MOVE works as well. Data Types must be the same.

Edit:  I'm in the wrong forum!

I have ZERO experience with ST but....

I whipped this up and compiled with no error, cant test until im back on site tomorrow

IF D116 = 0 THEN ActiveProfile:=Profile00;
END_IF;

d116 would be the active profile number....

So when d116 equals 0 then move Profile00 contents to ActiveProfile

Do i have Active and Profile backwards? ActiveProfile:=Profile00 to me seems like it would make Active what Profile00 is, or am i mixed up?

Destination:=Source

You can also put the comparison in the ladder in front of the ST box, and it will only run when the logic in front is true.

ST boxes are great for math and comparison stuff.  And much of the old Mitsu command set doesn't seem to work well with SDT.  In the other IEC controller I have used, there is a MOVE command for things like this...
