I like to read UDT instance parameters using /-notation instead of dot-notation, as it’s more adaptable to non-UDTs that should be UDTs, but can’t… so that I can still make use of my generic structures. For the non-UDTs I just create memory tags in place of the parameters inside a “Parameters” folder.
E.g. I like to read
{Area/Pump 1/Parameters/DeviceName}
instead of
{Area/Pump 1/Parameters.DeviceName}
However, I’ve just noticed in a new site that the values are only updated when the tag provider is restarted. It will read the old values otherwise. However if I read using dot-notation it reads the correct current value.
