RSView Studio Selector Switch

Hi how can i create a selector switch in RSView Studio - Machine Edition.

I need to selec 3 diferent bits

B3:94/3
B3:94/4
B3:94/5

When i select bit B3:94/3 it should write 1 and the bits B3:94/4
B3:94/5 should be in 0.

When i select bit B3:94/4 it should write 1 and the bits B3:94/3
B3:94/5 should be in 0.

When i select bit B3:94/5 it should write 1 and the bits B3:94/4
B3:94/3 should be in 0.

I'd put three buttons on the screen.
Each button writes a "1" to a new tag in the PLC, total of three new tags. Let's call them Button1, Button2, and Button3 for this example. (You pick whatever address you want in the PLC.)

Use PLC logic to do what you want. For example:

When Button1 turns on, latch B3:94/3 and unlatch B3:94/4 and unlatch B3:94/5.
When Button2 turns on, latch B3:94/4 and unlatch B3:94/3 and unlatch B3:94/5.
When Button3 turns on, latch B3:94/5 and unlatch B3:94/4 and unlatch B3:94/3.

A good programming practice would be to include another rung: if more than one of your modes are on, reset all or set a safe state.

Thx for ur Reply!!

i have done that but it doesnt work.

i added the OTU´s 2 of them in each rung.

Do not point the buttons DIRECTLY to the B3:94/x bits. Choose another empty word and use those bits. Then those bits become the inputs on the left side. When one turns on the OTL the desired bits and OTU the other two bits. For example if you use B3:95/0,1 and 2 then the first rung would have:

XIC B3:95/0 OTL B3:94/3 OTU B3:94/4 OTU B3:94/5

Thought I'd add one more thing. If you ever need more than three selections the latch/unlatch idea is not the best way. Instead use the button to turn on a bit that moves a number into a register.

For example:
Button1 move 1 to N7:1
Button2 move 2 to N7:2
Button3 move 3 to N7:3
Button4 move 4 to N7:4
Button5 move 5 to N7:5

Now clamp the mode register between min/max:
If N7:1 is less than 1, move a 1 to N7:1
If N7:1 is greater than 5, move a 1 to N7:1 (or move a 5, your choice as long as it is within range 1-5).

Then compare to turn on a coil to indicate the mode:
N7:1 equal to 1 - turn on coil OTE for "Mode1"
N7:1 equal to 2 - turn on coil OTE for "Mode2"
N7:1 equal to 3 - turn on coil OTE for "Mode3"
N7:1 equal to 4 - turn on coil OTE for "Mode4"
N7:1 equal to 5 - turn on coil OTE for "Mode5"

This way is foolproof and easy to code.

Or perhaps move

1, 2, 4, 8 ,16 etc

Then you can use the bits of the N register directly

Ok guys thanks for your ideas i used tha latch unlatch method and it worked perfectly!

Thank you guys!

You are welcome! Good luck to you!

Bernie your take is appreciated as always. I always enjoy what you post.
