Thanks again to everyone who helped me with my counter problem. I have another one...
The ML1100 is attached to a C-More touchscreen from AutomationDirect. It is working very well but the screen can not access ST files on the PLC. If I want to store ascii data I can use an N file (high byte of first word is 1st character, low byte is 2nd character, etc.). This works if all I want to do is retain display data in the PLC.
However, I have a computer running RSView32 that I am going to use to monitor the PLC, log data, and react to various events. RSView32 wants to look at ST files for string data. So, I need to either:
1) Somehow stuff the bytes from the N file into the ST file.
or
2) Convert the bytes to ascii characters in RSView32 (probably using VB.
Does anyone know if 1 can be done?
Thanks again for all of your help.
