« on: July 07, 2015, 10:23:23 AM »
Hello, i'm new here.
I saw a youtube video, showing how to read a timer from a compactlogix clp with this program, and i'm trying to do the exactly same thing with it, but i'm getting this error:
CIP Error - Path Segment error.
someone can help me?

thx.

A path segment error typically means the tag does not exist. Are you using a controller scope or program scope tag?

A program scope tag.

You will need to precede tha tag name with  PROGRAM:programname.

What is the name of the program the tag is in? What is the tag name?

the tag's name is TMR_LOAD.ACC

TEST.ACD is the filename. What you need is the name of the program within RSLogix where the tag resides. By default it will be MainProgram. In that case, you would need to put:

PROGRAM:MainProgram.TMR_LOAD.ACC

in the PLCAddressValue property of the DigitalPanelMeter.

If you are unsure, try to create a timer as a controller scope tag, then you do not need to prefix it with a program name.
