Hey everyone,
Recently installed a Siemens BW500 belt scale on a conveyor, and everything is nearly wrapped up except that we can't seem to get Total 1 to reset using the PLC. I've followed the sample code that Siemens provides, including all of the bit swapping etc, but even forcing the Total 1 Reset output bit causes no change. The manual states that the reset won't occur until the bit goes from a 0 to a 1 and then set back to a 0, but that is happening in the logic to no avail. Does anyone have any experience or insight into this that might help?
Just for context, every morning at 6:59:59 AM we're performing a MOV to move the TOTAL_1 in the Milltronics to a different tag (TONS_PER_DAY_TODAY into TONS_PER_DAY_YESTERDAY) and then we use a TOF timer with a 200ms preset to trigger the OTE of the Total 1 Reset bit (E28_1350_SCALE:O.Data[8].0). I'll attach a screenshot below.
Thanks in advance!
