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.

Nice simple demo/explanation. Many thanks

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

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

[@technosync274]

very good demo. thank you

[@tonycosmas9535]

Good job man

[@jixuancheng]

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

[@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

[@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,

[@milansheta]

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

What would be the best way to monitor amperage and rpms in a Studio 5000 plc program

[@MohsinKhan-kc6lu]

Plz tell about all data types for plc

[@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 to use in FT view for global object

[@PLCGurusNET]

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