I am trying to use an FC633 i->t converter and it keeps giving me an error on my unit type and was wondering if someone could look at it. No matter what I put in for the unit 0,1,2,3 or ms,s,m,h it says it is invalid.

The screen shots of the ladder and db are attached

Where has FC633 come from ?

If you hover your mouse over the word UNIT the data type expected will be shown to you

FC633 is in a library siemens provided us. Help for it shows up as FC233. When I hold the mouse over the word unit it shows 0=ms 1=s 2=m 3=h. But if i put in 0,1,2, or 3 it says invalid and i tried putting it 0=ms etc. and it says it is invalid. Thanks

Okay got it. Thanks for your help. I had added the fc prior to adding the data into the db, had both open at the same time. Closed both opened the ladder by it self deleted the fc, put it back now it works.
