FactoryTalk View ME - Passing numeric values to Global Object
Hey folks,
Been working with the product going on a decade now and encountered a new hurdle / new fix. Happy to hear feedback if there's an easier solution as well.
I regularly create a Numeric Input Global Object and pass tag paths, units, and min/max values to it, like so:
This works great as long as the min/max are tag bindings and not numeric values.
However, on occasion when I do not have a min/max tag to bind, I would still like to be able to set the min/max values. Doing so with numeric constants yields the following errors.
I was eventually able to circumvent the issue by creating a second numeric input global object, and multiplying the min/max bindings by 1. Doing so attempts to force the parameters into integers, making them fit for the task.
Now I'm maintaining two of the same Global Objects, but its the best solution I've found.
Anyone have an easier way to do this?
Cheers!
