$aa6
G'day
chelton .... Your help is much appreciated. CMD $AA6 is a "read only" and, I am already using that at the page top: DioOut_Full_WORD (see pic on forum page 3) Thanks to that CMD.. I can see the status of all D/IO's by converting that tag to binary and mapping the status tags to that: (All the colored ON's & OFF's)
Remember... the current big problem is how to write to s single bit of DO, without clearing the register, and you are left looking at only the bit you just changed. Only #AABB(data) does that... and it isn't in the Red Lion Driver... sniff!
BUT! Perhaps there's a way to create the command by doing something in "Programs" which can
include the "$" in the data. (I think that must happen)
In my Database...take a look at the program section for
UpdateConfigVariable .. look at the expression that can reformat the configuration of the module. (there isn't any good reason to do that with a D/IO module, but that ability was included in the driver , and #AABB(data)
was not .... (Very Strange)
PS: Norm Galvin added that to my database
I'm thinking I am the first to try to control an ADAM-4055 using only a G3 Red Lion HMI. It's not really a silly idea (I think the forum sees a safety issue for not including a PLC) I really have some good reasons... what I should be doing is controlling the LinMot drive controller directly with the HMI ... might look into that next.
The Red Lion G3's are PLC's ..after all.
To be continued..I'll take a look at what you did to my database.. Thanks, Regards, Michael Lambert
