I am currently converting a PLC5 over to a Compactlgx. I have the logic converted, am in the middle of making all my new tags and have made some AOI's (my first time). This is for a small tank farm process.
My question is:
In the PLC5, there are Block Transfers all over for the analog signals from the level transmitters. These are not needed in RS5k.
But, there a lot of conditional XIC .DN bits from the BTR and BTW's that control some CPT instructions.
Do I need to program a "scan rate" timer to trigger these CPT's? Or can i just have a straight rung to a CPT? I didn't know if that will load up the CPU not having it pulse.
I hope I explained it well. Thanks!!
