Title: Outputs
Post by: mach62468 on January 11, 2018, 01:38:02 PM

I am currently trying to use some of the switchs and buttons to control bits on a controlLogix. I can read values but I am unable to write.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Create Controller scope tag named MyButton of type BOOL
In AdvancedHMI add a BasicButton to the form
Set PLCAddressClick to MyButton


Create a controller scope tag named MyDint of type DINT
In AdvancedHMI, add a BasicLabel to the form
Set PLCAddressValue to MyDint
Set PLCAddressKeypad to MyDint

Run the application and click on either item

I believe that is what I have done but does not work. See photo below.

Set the OutputType of your button to Toggle so you can see it better in RSLogix

Ok so it works as long as I dont run my code. How would I set the value of the bit by using code instead of a button?

Out of curiosity, what events did you want to trigger these writes?
