Hi all,
Another question relating to my difficulties with translating my S7-1200 FB's to S7-300 FB's
In my S7-1200 FB I have two IEC timers (TON). I have defined them as Static Tags of type TON so that each instance DB that is created when I drop in a new instance of the FB has it's own timers. This all works well.
In the S7-300, I can't use IEC timers. No problem, I can use a Simatic Timer - S_ODT. But I have to change my Static tags to match the new data type. I've tried "Timer", "S_ODT", "SIMATIC_Timer", none of them have worked. Can anyone tell me what data type I have to make them? Or should I be approaching this differently?
Thanks!
