Very often I have to reverse engineer something from an iFix parameter inside an array to a bit in iFix. It's a pain to do as I've yet to really get it down pat and I find myself countings bits until I get to where I need to go.
Here's a deal. There's an array in iFix that is say Digital1 which starts at B13:0 inside the PLC. One such parameter refences the 27th bit inside this array. So here I am, starting at B13:0/0 and counting up 27 bits to get the value. My method is...
27 - 16 = 11
B13:0/0 + 16 = B13:1/0
B13:1/0 + 11 = B13:1/ and the 11th bit which I presume is B13:1/10 (starting with zero messes me up at times)
Sure, this method isn't so terrible. But when I have to do 20-30 of these all withing random areas it gets time consuming.
Has anyone found an online converter or an excel sheet to make this easier?
