1) I have an HMI that needs a major update to the variable names to make them more appropriate. It also follows an improvement in the PLC code.
Is there a way to export the variables, including the ones used for visibility....modify them and then reimport them?
2) Also, what is the formula character limit for the visibility in the Vigeo Designer. We have some structures that add a lot of characters when I only want to evaluate a single bit out of a large data structure.

It would help if you could tell us which PLC did you use, and which driver did you use?

I am using the M262, PLC with Machine Expert v2.0. i used the Unit Conversion in the software which was working well until this morning. I figured out how it works and it works very well and keeps the code nice and clean.
1) However, the problem I have this morning is that it doesn't compile my Celcius to Fahrenheit conversion.
2) Where in the same CFC it will compile my m3 to Barrels and the pressure kpa to PSI. I am wondering if there is a limitation on the number of different types of conversions that a CFC can do.
Anyway, have a look at the attached files and let me know if you see anything I am doing wrong.
