Timer programing in a ab panelview

[joeparrish]

Ok I have a panelview 550 touch screen only no keypad
I need to be able to change the preset on a timer in the plc

So useing panelbuilder 32

I added the screen changed everything else but this

I know I add a
Numeric entry (keypad enabled)
I am lost with the propertys

you have

write tag
notificanion tag
handhake tag

I am asumming just putting t4:1/? in the write tag
or am I thinking wrong

 

[joeparrish]

or do I have to program like a move file in the plc?

.PRE is the preset of the timer

I cant remember if you can address this directly in PB32

Try it or someone here will jump in and correct me....

If it doesnt write directly to the preset then write to an N register and do a MOVe in the processor from the N register to the .PRE address of the timer.

Ya it says tag address field is invaled

How are you entering the address ( i.e T4:1/? or T4:1.PRE) does it exits in your tag database?

I would use an integer to write to and then move that value to the timrer preset. This will allow you to check for limits or keep the value within a predefined range before the move occurs.

This is exceptionally wise advice.


DAMHIKT. Suffice it to say that wisdom is a character trait often acquired shortly after one should have used it.
