Set tag values in a array (Real[45,60])

Hi,
I am a beginner in RSlogix5000. (Version28.00 - Professional edition)

I have to preset the tag's in the array(Real[45,60]) with values. How is this possible?


Have seen several versions with rsLink or export to a L5k file.........
In RsLinkClassic Lite i cannot edit, and export to L5K file is not selectable.
Are there other possibilities???

Preset them from where, the PLC? On start up? On an event?
Are they always to remain the same?

What have you tried so far?

Hi Ash

I want set the tags to a value for example how i do it in Step7:
rData[1,1] :=7.73285648847377E-07;
rData[1,2] :=1.03442869203718E-06;
etc.

All hand-set to require too much time.......

OK so what have you tried in Logix so far?

I export the Tag's to Excel but no values are inside, only the hole Array name.
After i try with rsLink DDE, but i have only the light version.

I have many of these array's..........

Ill answer this bit first before moving on...

You have two ways of doing this:

1. Open up RSlogix5000, find your array in program or controller tags & select monitor. Then enter a number manually.

2. Create a routine, then a rung and move the static value into the tag address

-----------------------------

Now,
Why are you trying to export them to excel, is this so you can set the values in excel then import them back into logix with those values?
Do you just want all of the tags to be loaded in with preset values once?
Are they all the same value?

Edit: I now realize you want to populate all of the arrays easily rather than by hand

To make a L5K, you open your program, File > Save As, change the extension to L5K

now I have understood it, thank you very much
