Title: AB MicroLogix 1400 Tag Addresses Not Working
Post by: ahunteje on November 05, 2024, 06:11:22 PM

I have a 1400 that has a VERY simple program on.  There is a toggle, and when you toggle it high a counter adds 1.  I have set this up in Kepware and see that everything is working as expected.  However, in AdvancedHMI, I set the driver to EthernetIPforSLCMicroCom and add a digital display with the address of C5:0 - which works in Kepware.  But in the form, that digital display doesn't show the correct value.  I don't get any errors.  Sorry, I am very new to both AdvancedHMI as well as Kepware/PLC stuff.  Sorry for my ignorance.

Can you share a screenshot of your digital display properties?  It's been a minute since I've connected to a SLC, but the tag syntax should be something like  C5:0/ACC or maybe C5:0.ACC

Hey, thanks for the response. I am assuming you wanted the address area of the properties.  I only have the C5:0 with nothing else.

Holy crap, that actually worked with the .ACC.  Thank you, so much!!!  Can you explain that a bit to me?  I have an input that I want to set up a button.  In Kepware, it's address is B3:15/1 - is that all I need to use or how do I know what that .XXX will be?
