BECKHOFF ADS-Symbolic Driver and Arrays

Post by jmkowol »

Programming an HMI application we would like to use the Beckhoff ADS-symbolic driver via Ethernet to one of the iXT10A HMI.
My colleagues and I tried to access a one-dimensional array using index variables with no success.
Doing it with the "other" ADS driver worked just fine.
Does any one in this forum came across the same problem?
Is there a solution or method how to access an array [0..10] (bin, Real, Int... variable)?

Greetings
