Hi Archie. Its been awhile since I created any projects in AHMI so I haven't kept up with the changes. Could you give a brief overview of the ComBridge and Checkbox components? As always, great job! Thanks

The ComBridge can be used to link a value from one device to another. For example, let's say you want a Modbus device's value to go into a SLC500 which cannot communicate Modbus. In AdvancedHMI, you would add a driver for the Modbus device and one for the SLC500. Then add a ComBridge to point to the Modbus driver as a source and the SLC driver as the target, then set the addresses to link.
The Checkbox is really not much more than an illuminated button. The check is tied to a bit and when it is clicked, it will toggle the bit.

That's fantastic! I will have to give them a try, thanks

Hi Archie can I trigger a bit from one CLX PLC to another CLX PLC using ComBridge?

Yes, but I don't recommend it. It is more reliable to use a MSG instruction in the PLC.
