About MHU

With some great help and explanation it is working. It is good to share it also here the result of the working program. Declaration:   PROGRAM StartTimerOnDL VAR fbStartTimer : CXA_AutomationCore_fbs.common_scheduler_fbs_DurationTimer; // The type definition can be found in the references write type totally on the end. fbBuilder: flatbuffers.FlatBufferBuilder; // Declare the flatbuffer builder fbDL_WriteNodeValue : CXA_Datalayer.DL_WriteNodeValue; // Write the generated flatbuffer to the node bExecute_write : BOOL := FALSE; // Only execute once // By a complicated flatbuffer you must work with offset. Not necessary for this example. //fbOffset: UDINT; // Write node values strNodePath: STRING(255); // Path in the DataLayer that you want to modify bStart_write: BOOL; // Execute the function only once // Some variable to see the progress writeNodeValue: CXA_Datalayer.DL_NodeValue; fbValueOut : CXA_Datalayer.DL_NodeValue; bDone_write: BOOL; bActive_write: BOOL; ErrorID_write: CXA_Datalayer.ERROR_CODE; bError_write: BOOL; ErrorIdent_write: CXA_Datalayer.ERROR_STRUCT; END_VAR     Implementation:   IF bStart_write THEN // Writing to the flatbuffer is started.
