Hi everyone,

I need to assign OPC tags to a memory tag (Dataset type) inside of a Data Type Structure, is that possible? And how? Please.

I’m sorry, I have no idea what you are trying to do.

More details usually yield better results. Examples and possibly screenshots, along with what you have tried so far, are usually welcome.

Hi,

I’ve found a solution that works, I don’t know if it’s the best way, but at least works as I need it.

As @JordanCClark mentioned, without some more detail about what you’re trying to accomplish, the ‘how’ is very broad. What you’ve posted is one option. Another would be using queries to load a database and then pull that database to a database tag with a single query.

Its all a matter of the size and scope of the work you are trying to do.

Can you provide more details?
