How To Create An Array Of UDTs And Populate With Default Data
Working with UDTs in TIA Portal is usually straightforward until arrays enter the picture. Setting default values inside a UDT works exactly as expected for single instances, but things quickly become tedious when that same UDT is used inside an array. Engineers often discover that while the first element looks correct, changing or standardizing start values across dozens or hundreds of array elements becomes a manual and frustrating task.
This week’s question focuses on how to practically handle default data for arrays of UDTs, what TIA Portal does and does not allow, and the most reliable workaround used in real projects.
