FactoryTalk ME

Trying to connect a PB in ME to a DINT tag in the PLC. I see the tag in tag browser but not the individual integers themselves.


I've tried adding ".1" inside the brackets but still gives me an error on the HMI. Ex {[Main_PLC]Tag.1}


Any help would be awesome,


Thank you

You mean bits or integer (word)? The format for an integer array would be INT[x]

 

[DannyD303]

The bits themselves. Sorry for the mistake




So it would be something like the following?


{[Main_PLC]Tag[1]}

No. Your syntax in your first post looks correct. What exactly does the error message say?

jkerekes:
I used that syntax but the PB I have in the HMI just comes up as Error. The same blue screen error you would get if you didn't assign a tag at all.

 

[jkerekes]

What does the diagnostic log show?

 

[DannyD303]

When I press the PB it comes up with "LatchedPushButton9 unable to read from unassigned control."

check this thread make sure all your parameters are setup for the PB.

I would also throw up a numeric display with your DINT to make sure factorytalk is actually seeing it

I'm just an ID10T. Turns out I just need to change my Latched PB to Maintained PB. It works perfect now...
