Using Variants and Serialization to Check for Any Active Data

When you’re working with large datasets in TIA Portal, sometimes you don’t need to know what has changed, just that something has.

Whether it’s alarms, simulations, or queued operations, quickly detecting activity across an entire structure can save both scan time and logic complexity.

In this week’s Q&A Weekly, we explore how to use serialization and variant pointers to check any data type for active values, and how this simple concept can transform the way you handle grouped data.
