Hi all,
First time poster here... until a year ago my ladder logic exposure was at a GM assembly plant in the early 80's, all on D size paper. Fast forward a few decades and out of necessity I've inherited a plant using RSLogix 500 and RSView Studio for HMI. I'm catching up slowly but surely.
My issue is that I've been using the ASCII export tool in RSLogix 500 for the symbol database and importing it into the tag database. When I do this with each program update, I overwrite the minimum and maximum fields for numeric entry objects for previously created tags (reset them back to the defaults of 0 and 100). I end up editing the tag database from within RSView Studio to fix them each time. Any tips on an easy way way to preserve these fields in the future? The operators just smile at me each time I have to redo these...
Thanks!
Jerry
