Factory Talk ME Mobus TCP to CLX tag

[Dale87]

What's the best way to move a tag value from the panelview+7 to the clx plc. We display amps from a power meter on the panelview screen, read in via modbus tcp kepware. But want to move this value to a plc tag for some logic. On other mfgs hmi there's always some sort of event manager or something similar that we can use the internal clock of the hmi to move the value. IE every 1 second move the value of the modbus tcp tag to a plc tag. But can't find anything similar in FTVME Thanks.

I think you can use macro's to assign a value in a tag from another tag, seem to remember doing this some time ago but not used FTV for many years, I think it's just a matter of getting the paths right.
