Hi Guys,
i am using an L62 controllogix unit, i am writing some code to control one of our systems on site.
I have never used the data type "string" before although i understand it can contain letters as well as numbers etc. i thought on this project rather than use text tables on the scada to display what state the machine was in i would use different strings with a step number and smalll description in the program, during the correct stage copy the info into a main string that is displayed on the scada.
this is maybe pretty crazy and way ott but you would then see in the program at a glance whhat stage you were in.
i have posted a rung picture of a rung, just what i came up with after reading some of the instruction help, an ideal solution would have been to use the move function or the copy but they do not appear to support this data type.
thanks
