Is there a way of setting digital outputs using a string variable?
Options
I am currently setting up a simulation in which the robot has to pick 90 parts from a draw, im looking for a quick way to hide the parts as the robot picks them in a simulation.
Rather than writing a long "TEST" function, i was hoping i could do something like
Var String outputname := "HidePart";
PROC SetDO()
Set outputname + PickNumber;
ENDPROC
This way if i configured a the signals as "HidePart1", "HidePart2".... etc. it would be a simple way of setting the correct output in the rapid?
Sorry if this isn't clearly explained but figured someone would know a quick way of doing it.
Thanks in advance for your help

Hello,You can use GetDataVal:
VAR signaldo doOutput; GetDataVal "MyOuputCommonName"+ValToStr(nIndex),doOutput; SetDO doOutput,high;
