Not sure if this will make sense, i spend a whole day playing with a UTICOR MARQUE. The unit has a devicenet connection and I am able to 'pump' ascii characters and controlls into the device.
I am trying to read a DINT inside a Controllogix L35E and move this into ASCII (Length counter).
So far I am able to control the characters reasonably well (Double height, 4" tall no blinking etc. I am able to count one digit upwards on the unit and I would like to count at least to 1000 meters maybe 3000 meters.
I bought this unit as I did not want to use a Red lion Counter that was pulsed on and off. I figured that this unit could evolve into a fault display or perhaps a totalizer and a current counter.
The words EZ is not so easy, poor documentation, errors abound and no working examples has me holding two boat anchors.
To make matters worse the unit is expecting 16 bit registers and the 1769-SDN is in 32 bits, I have this already resolved with a bit shifter 16 left and 16 right.
All I need is a counter converter for a Controllogix DINT to ASCII
Thank you for any assistance..
