Setup control and TypeData list

For our project with Setup control we would like to show all TypeData available at server during manual changeover. The reason for this is we have lot of single stations and we do not want to write type data name directly into the dialog. So the idea is to display all available data and choose one of them in the same way like we use it for local TypeData in files.

Is there any way how to show dialog similar to local data dialog which displays all data available in setup control?

Is there any standard or example for this type of data handling?ย

Maybe you can get a list of all types via a dataDownloadRequired (OpconXml) or DataSet (Public Interface), but it must be implemented/configured on MES site.

It looks like there is a MES function GetAvailableTypes, see MES DirectDataLink documentation "Module.SetupControlAccess_UserManual_EN.pdf"

I have never seen a project that uses such a function*, but I am looking forward to your feedback ๐Ÿ˜€

* Bosch AE has realized something similar (download process list at machine startup, then download process data). But I am not sure how it is realized on MES side.
