Questions on Function Block programming

Hi, I'm programming a Micro830 PLC and Function Block Diagram using Connected Components Workbench. I'm trying to output a analog input that has been averaged, scaled, stripped off the extra decimal I didn't need. That all works fine, the problem is I can only output one time. I need a way to toggle FBEN on my function RA_STRING_TO_ASCII. RA_STRING_TO_ASCII gets fed a string, converts to bytes and get put into an array. I can toggle FBEN_TRUE and send out my analog reading on the RS232. AWT_1.Q would toggle the FBEN, but not the first time through. Any Thoughts? I'm attaching a .jpeg of my program.

Here is the url of my jpeg: http://rc.runryder.com/helicopter/rr/rrpw.htm?d=/helicopter/gallery/32504/&IN=1&a=0&s=0

Thanks, JC

Check your AWT instruction. It probably operates each time the IN goes False to True. You have to find a trigger that goes on and off each time you want to look at a new value. You could do it based on time. For example use a 1-second time trigger to look at the analog value every 1 second.

Lancie1,
Thanks, thats what it needed. Works great now.

Raptor, that is good news. I am glad you got it working.
