Hi all,
I have been programming PLC's for a couple years, but I'm fairly new to AB. I'm using a 5069-L320ER v. 32.11
I used a strategy from a slightly older version, when we were using an L32ER.
One of the operators we used in the strategy was a BTD (bit field distribute). This checked an analog input card for any open thermocouples. If there was an open, we would then set true a bit in another tag.
For some reason, now, the OpenWire field in the analog card is a Boolean, not an integer. The BTD function cannot use boolean, so I am looking for another way to do this for multiple thermocouples. Rather than doing a check/set one rung at a time, which seems time consuming.
Forgive me if I'm not using the correct terms or describing my issue thoroughly enough, I'll be happy to provide more information. For all I know I'm missing something very simple here. Thank you for any assistance!
