Problems with default power config of dyn_string DPE

[tgdannemiller]

I have found what appears to be two problems: First, the power config editor for a dyn_int DPE default config will only display or accept the entry of a single value for a dyn_int DPE. Second, the export format 3 only outputs a single value for the default value of a dyn_int DPE even if it contains more values. I tried similar operations with a DPE that is dyn_string and it works correctly.

I have a small test project with a datatype myDPT, which has two DPEs: myInts, which is a dyn_int, and myStrings, which is a dyn_string. I created a master point for the myDpt data type, and created a master default value for each DPE. Each master default value contained four values; four integers for myInts, and four strings for my myStrings. I then create a myDpt data point named myDp. When I use ASCII manager to export all DPs of myDpt (just the master point and myDP); the V1 export includes all four default values for myInts and myStrings, but the V3 export only includes the first default value for myInts. myStrings works correctly in format 3 export.

If I try to edit the default value for myDp.myInts (by right clicking on it and bringing up the power configuration editor), it only shows the first value and I can't find a way to make it accept more than one value when I try to enter new values. I know the format is to use "|" between the values because that works for myStrings, but it doesn't for myInts.

I have attached the test project so that if my above explanation isn't clear enough or it can't be reproduced, maybe the test project can be used to see what I mean and to reproduce the problem. I am running WinCC/OA Patch 3 on a Windows 7 64-bit PC.

I've tested it and I've seen that the power configs seem not to work correctly with dyn datatypes.
When having a quick look at the documentation I didn't find a documented restriction for it.

I will ask our developers if is intended to use power configs at dyn datatypes.

Hi, has there been a response from the developers about this yet? Thanks, Tom

There is no response from our development department up to now.
