Converters
Use converters to transform the source value and then assign the value to the parent node.
TIP:
If you intend to use a converter and its properties in several complex dynamic links, create a converter type and then use the converter type instances in multiple complex dynamic links. If you intend to use a converter and its properties in a single complex dynamic link, create a local converter.
Converter types and converter instances
Create converter types and then use instances of converter types in multiple complex dynamic links. See Create a converter type and Create a complex dynamic link.
FactoryTalk Optix Studio
includes these predefined converter types:
Local converters
A local converter is specific to a singular complex dynamic link that you cannot reuse in other complex dynamic links. See Create a complex dynamic link.
Converter example
An example converter in the complex dynamic link editor may contain:
Item | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
Parent variable | The variable value, which value is the converter output. | |
Dynamic link direction | The direction between the converter output and the converter logic. The direction changes as you select the icon:
| |
Insert | Inserts another converter block. | |
Converter name | The name of the converter object. | |
Converter properties | You can set the properties values to:
| |
Source dynamic link | Either a dynamic link to a variable or tag value or another converter. |
