Hello All, I am replacing a Panelview 1400E with a Panelview Plus on a system with a PLC5-30 processor. I have most everything worked out with the upgrade but am struggling with a few items.
My PLC logic needs to know which screen is being displayed by the Panelview. The original PV 1400E used an input (Tag_DI03_7_0-7_17_Bin) to notify the PLC as to what screen it was on. I tried this on the FT view studio ME under Global Connections, Display, Replace display Number, and it didn't work. Rockwell tech support told me that the FT view needs an integer file in this case. I changed the I:37 to an N7:3 and made the appropriate PLC logic changes but still nothing. When I change screens on my Panelview it does nothing to toggle my integer file. I am communicating fine because if I manually put a number into the N7:3 file, I can than use the buttons on the panelview to operate inputs.
I'm a first timer on here and working with Factory Talk View Studio so I hope you can be patient if I sound like I don't know what I'm doing.
Thanks.
