Allow Selection of 'Late' Network binding for HMI controls and indicators

Status: Declined

Any idea that has not received any kudos within a year after posting will be automatically declined. 

Currently, if you want to programmatically bind HMI controls and indicators to network URL's you need to first set, at edit time, a fake

URL (example: \\192.168.0.3\cRIO-HPU\'PU.Accumulator_Dump_Valve') since the actual IP address may not be known at edit time.

If you leave the HMI 'unbinded' then the attempt to set the BindingPath properties will result in an error.

It would be nice if you had a generic option called 'late binding' that you could select with the expectation that the exact URL will be set

at runtime.  This would provide an additional benefit where the  PSP driver could wait for a BindingPath to be set before attempting

the first transaction.
