VA and !-Schedule

flcusat

There is any way to add the !-schedule module to a project created with VA?

Integration Solutions in VA

VA assigns a UI port for each device, so first you should assign a dummy device to occupy the port that you expect to use i!-Schedule. Since most i! Solutions utilize port 4 in TPD4, you should make your fourth device added in VA your placeholder device. The alternative would be to reassign all port numbers in 15 popups and 3 pages which would be time consuming. Next copy all of the i!-Schedule TPD4 UI pages into the generated VA pages, deleting the dummy device pages. Now save i!-ScheduleModTest.axs as an axi and include it in your VA custom.axi code. Make sure that you do not conflict with virtual device ports in VA! Use the touch panel device name that was created by VA.
Next register your events and add code for events. I would probably use DO_PUSH and use the button events generated by VA.
This same process could be used for any i! Solution.
I hope this helps!

I used to dread changing port numbers also until I read about the quick and easy, find and replace function that TPD4 offers. Check out post #4 of the following thread:
