Guidelines
The configuration data for a set of prompts are stored in an array of user-defined
types (UDTs). Each configured prompt instance is a member of the Prompts
array. By referencing different members of the prompt configuration array, the
same P_Prompt instruction can be used to access multiple user-prompt
combinations, one at a time.
A single prompt can include the following:
• An 82-character message
• Up to four numeric value displays
• Up to four numeric value entries
• Choose one choice among 2…4 options
• Up to four text responses
The RespData tag at the bottom of the P_Prompt
function block lets you define where to store
operator responses. This tag stores any operator
response as a string in the application.
