PLCGurus.NET - Studio 5000 User Defined Types (UDTs)

[@samytimalsina4746]

This is the beauty of Objects and class in Rs logix 5000. Creating UDT is similar to class and instantiating it on the program is like instantiating objects.

Great video! How is the discrete I/O referenced to the I/O in a UDT?

[@ianshorthose5041]

Nice simple demo/explanation. Many thanks

[@PLC-79]

It is good. I hope to see more video concern conveyor.

[@technosync274]

very good demo. thank you

Good job man

For programming Beginners: Analogous to C struct; Java/C++ class objects.

wow, Where did you learn this? Awesome I found these. Thank you

[@fakename6300]

Hello Sir, Thank you for the lesson. I do have one question. Should we be buffering the output bits for the motor starters? Thanks,

[@ardentdfender4116]

Was re-watching this video again and a question I now have. How do one know what are the various Objects for which there are UDT's. Is there a list of objects? Like Motors, Valves, Transmitters etc.

[@PLCGurusNET]

Hi Ardent, UDTs are constructs that allow programmers to be programmers. Meaning, there are no set objects, rather we get to create and define our own. This is why they are called User Defined Types. I used the motor type as an example to demonstrate their use and power.

How do you connect this to Input now? Motors will have inputs as a local as well, right?

Plz tell about all data types for plc

[@MasonTaylor-lg3rh]

How would you go about aliasing the individual parameters of a UDT? everytime I try an add an alias to the tag in the routine window the data type gets converted back to bool and I don't see an option to add an alias in the properties when viewing the UDT in the tag window

Not clear on your question. Just wire up as you would any other tag in FTV
