Greetings all,
I am trying to write and interface for an Allen Bradley Micrologix 1500 PLC using a Panelview+600 HMI. I have 4 recipes, each stored in their own data file in the PLC and I am trying to allow the operators to edit the individual recipes one at a time. The recipe data is stored in the format
::[SHORTCUT]N[N30:2]:15 where N30:2 holds a value pointing to the data file where the settings for each particular recipe is held. Each recipe has about 25 pieces of data.
Whenever I try to run the program I get errors such as
The item '::[SHORTCUT]N[N30:2]:15' does not exist on any server however I have checked in the PLC data table and N30:2 is definetely pointing at the correct data file...
Any ideas on this one?
Thanks in advance,
Brendan

Never tried to use it, but most of HMI these days have recipies tools in them. Just have a look at help file for that. Might be an option for you...

The PanelView can't work with an indirect address.
You will need to set N30:2 directly from the PV and then cause the PLC to move the selected recipe into a scratch-pad area in the PLC which the PV can access directly. When editing is complete, cause the PLC to move the scratch-pad area back to the original location for the recipe.
