Hello all.
I am pretty new to using FactoryTalk for PanelView files. So pardon me in advance.
So basically there are some pre-existing files that I need to add multi-state indicators to. I want to link it back to the PLC file in RSLogix 5000, but when I look at an example tag for one of the existing indicators I see:
I understand that the statement in the curly braces {} is reading the tag from the RSLogix Tag database, but is there a reason why they would need to shift the bits to the right? I am misunderstanding why they would need a formula I suppose.
If this is something that requires how the program was written to explain, I can dig into it on my own. Was just curious and confused! Thanks!
