Replying back with what I ended up doing. I am going to use some software development terms, sorry for any of those unfamiliar with them. First I created a new model variable type InterfaceMotor that has the same data structure as the PLC UDT with the addition of the audit signing workflows. ...

Yes, just displaying the unit is easy, but doing that doesn't allow localization. I want to set the EU of the Optix variable from the PLC DINT so that it can be localized, not just display the unit. -------------------------------------------

The PLC has an Analog AOI that handles scaling, high/low/signal lost alarms, etc. The AOI has a DINT that represents the units for the value. I am trying to figure out how to read that DINT and assign the correct EU to the Optix variable linked to the value tag of the AOI. ------------------------- ...

How do I use a Key-Value Converter to set the Engineering Units of a variable? I would like to actually configure the Engineering Units so that I can localize/convert the value easily. Example: 1 = % 2 = PSI 4 = Feet 8 = GPM -------------------------------------------

I work for an SI and am in the middle of creating a template project for other people on my team to use. I know that every instance of AOI/UDT of a given type has some variables/tags that need an audit signing workflow, and other variables/tags need data logging for trending. I don't want to have to ...

What is the best way to extend PLC AOIs in FT Optix? Asking in general, but a specific example would be adding a audit signing signature workflow to the speed command of a motor AOI. How can I do this so that it applies to all instances of the motor AOI across all PLCs? --------------------------- ...
