Is there any way to force a group of tags or folder of read only tags to read and update their values from a target device? Such as an inverse of the WriteAll() function?
I am currently working on a faceplate for a red lion g310c210 to display and modify parameter data from powerflex 525's. I have a list box that you can select the parameter group in and then scroll through and modify the contents of that group.
To accomplish this I have set up a directory structure that emulates a 2d array. I increment integers for each dimension with buttons that I then assemble in a string then filter through the FindTagIndex and GetIntTag functions. This works beautifully if there is data present in the tag, but when the tags are mapped to the PLC I get default values of 0's.
The problem lies in how crimson updates tag data. If I put a data display or call in a program for the tag data I want to display on the same page, the data in the list box populates and works as intended. I am trying to avoid having to call each and every tag in the background.
I have tried this with C3 build 483 and 619. With the L5k driver v2.0 and v1.4
