Issue with Control Component in Graphics Editor (Power Operation 2022 U6)

[luis.londono]

Hello everyone,

I am currently working with Power Operation 2022 Update 6 and I have run into an issue with the Graphics Editor, specifically with the Control component used for breaker/switch operations.

When I configure a Control button, the script inside the definition references the definition name instead of the instanced object name. This means that when I use the script to send information or change the state of a breaker/switch, the variable componentName in the console output shows the definition’s name, not the actual instance placed on the diagram.

In older examples (from previous versions of Power Operation), the Control button appears to behave correctly, but in those cases the examples include a script that explicitly calls a function. When I replicate that approach in my version, I still see the same behavior — the definition name is taken instead of the instance.

Has anyone experienced this behavior in Power Operation 2022 U6?

• Is this expected, or is there a way to make the Control component reference the instanced object instead of the definition?

• Could this be a limitation or change introduced in the newer versions of Power Operation?

Any insights, workarounds, or documentation references would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
