Hi,
I'm trying to use a fanout block to send a value (outdoors temperature) to different calculation blocks to rescale a temperature to suit different plc standards. However, the fanout block only triggers the block under the "Next block" field in the database, and not the actual destinations in the fanout block. This is how it's supposed to be according to the Database reference manual, however, it is also specified under "7. Calculation block" that calculation blocks can be used to "perform complex equations by chaining one calculation block through the 'Next Block' field or the FANOUT BLOCK".
I can't seem to get it working, since only the Next block is set on scan in the fanout and the calculation block needs an upstream block to activate it. I can use one calculation block at a time (the one in the Next Block field), as to the other calculation blocks, I am at loss on how to get them on scan and running.
Thank you,
M
