Hey all,
I have an upcoming project for a customer who wants a compact logix and a panelview 600 for a automatic caseformer, I have started on some of the programming and I have a few questions about the tag addresses in both the compact logix processor and panelview. I have looked in the help sections of panelbuilder 32 and rslogix 5000 for this info, neither one were of much help. Let me know if I am understanding this right?
1.) You can use a "tag address" syntax like ( PV_START_MACHINE ) in the panelview with an ethernet and controlnet protocol BUT, not in DF1 or DH+.( I will be using DF1)
Ok so if the above is correct I will have to use AB's "standard" addressing ( B3:0/0 ) how would this address look in rslogix 5000
B3[0]?? Again if this B3[0] is right, I can only use B3[0] TO B3[15] before having to go to say for instance B4[0] right?
2.) In panelbuilder 32 when you edit a tag address you have options like bit and BOOL are these not the same thing?
well I guess this should get me started, any help would be appreciated
