Wonderware - Refer a DINT tags from Controllogix ?

Hi guys.

I have a tag in ControlLogix -> "Control" of type DINT

We can have a tag of type I/O integer in Wonderware refer to the PLC tag easily.

Is it possible for Wonderware to only refer to "Control.0" or "Control.31" instead
Or rather, work with individual bits of the tag in quickscripts ?

Yes it is possible.

PLC Tag: PLC_integer as DINT.

So you want to use PLC_integer.0 - PLC_integer.31 bits...

Only create a SINGLE integer tag.
HMI Tag: HMI_integer as I/O Integer

Within InTouch, the referencing is as follows:

PLC_integer.0 - HMI_integer.00
PLC_integer.1 - HMI_integer.01
PLC_integer.2 - HMI_integer.02
.
.
.
PLC_integer.31 - HMI_integer.31

Just have to use a leading 0 for bits <10.

Yes! Thank you so much. I cant tell you how happy I am !
I did try this a long while back but didn't put the leading zero I suppose.
Thanks again. Wish I could buy you a beer/milk shake

As a side question, can you refer to Integer arrays in Wonderware ?
As in
PLC_integer[10].0 - HMI_Integer[10].0 ?

The brackets give an illegal character, but is there any work around possible ?

Glad I could help you out! Take a beer over a milkshake

As for your second question, you cannot to my knowledge create an array tag within InTouch. You need to create InTouch tags for each element of the PLC tag array:

PLC_integer[0] - HMI_Integer_0
PLC_integer[1] - HMI_Integer_1
PLC_integer[2] - HMI_Integer_2
.
.
.
PLC_integer[10] - HMI_Integer_10

Then the same rules as before apply, just append the bit location.

Your example: PLC_integer[10].0 - HMI_Integer[10].0
Translates to: PLC_integer[10].0 - HMI_Integer_10.00
