".TEST_VARIABLE_1" must be globally defined.
Programs have no "." at the beginning of the name.
Function blocks are types:
Varname: CALENDER.FBCONVERTTIME.IN
Types are types:
Varname: CALENDER.CALENDAR.UTC
You can also search deeper in the type by looking for the type below the variable. All names must be concatenate with ".".
Varname: CALENDER.FBCONVERTTIME.TZINFO.BAIS
I use "?. " to find programs
If I understood the documentation, it should be possible to search multiple symbols in the ads symbols, in 1 request. As input I should use a "string array". How should this be formatted exactly? I don't find the right syntax...
I am setting up a dashboard to browse available ADS symbols, which is working fine.
When fetching the variable names as objects via the ADS Symbols node, they are return as ".TEST_VARIABLE_1" for example. This is despite the variable being declared inside the MAIN program on the PLC.
Is there a way to get the relevant program name, together with the variable name? If this is not possible at this time, would it be possible to implement, or is this a restriction in the ADS protocol?
