struct to buffer

[curtharrington1]

I am looking to copy different size structs to a buffer to send over EIP.  I would like to get the size of the struct to pack and unpack the buffer, is there a good way to do this? 

[pascal]

why copying to a buffer ? 

just put all of your structs into the adapter node's, unilogic is calculating itself the length needed ...

variable "outputs from A02" and "all inputs" are self made structs...

I am moving a lot of data across 10+ units as quickly as possible.  I don't need to update all variables every time so I need a generic way of sliding different sized structs across the network.  My thought is to convert a struct to a generic buffer on the scanner and then the adaptor takes the data from the generic buffer and unpacks it into the appropriate struct.  I've already determined that using a c function with sizeof as a method of calculating a struct size is viable.
