Hi folks,
I'm after running into an annoying issue that I'm hoping you can help with. We've just started commissioning our first FTView project using the PlantPAx package and when I link the graphics to the corresponding blocks in the PLC I don't get the pump name or interlock/permissive descriptions populating in the graphics. I can pull up the faceplate and toggle bits on and off with no issues and the graphics are showing correctly so I assumed everything was working OK. I only noticed that this was an issue after manually entering all the descriptions, then did a download to the PLC and realised it wiped everything back to default on the graphics.
Below is a screenshot of what I mean, in the top left pump I pulled the faceplate up and manually changed the tag and label to "PM0515 Test". The other pumps have gone back to the way they were before I manually inputted their tag names, "Motor Control" instead of "PM0515 Test". In the PLC all the pumps have their unique tag names already so the first question is should this information be populating in the graphics automatically or not? We have tried adding information to the description in the PLC too but that's not appearing in the graphics either. If that information is not supposed to populate the graphics then how do I prevent it from wiping every time we do a download?
If there's any other screenshots or other information you need just let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Darren
