Technical support / Re: Input[1] to Input[5] Operation
« Last post by uknanoman on January 06, 2023, 07:00:29 PM »Hi Gary
Thanks for this response. On the face of what you are explaining it would appear that the wx100 must default to set system 16,5 because inputs 81 onwards seem to retain a forced state via the monitor I/o control or as I have found out by using input[6]=dm[10]. In these cases it seems not to be overwritten with a 0. So with your suggestion in mind I will try a set system 16,1 and see how it responds when I get back to work next week. You may be wondering at my thought process regarding storing of (data) at input points. It is simply that because the (data) is data related to physical inputs from a remote i/o block via modbus, I prefer to map them into into an input area of the plc for the clarity of inputs being inputs and subsequently being prefixed with an (i) eg i81 when looking at a ladder diagram. As you have rightly perceived data is after all data whether it is I/O or other my problem is that I can get a bit picky sometimes about how I want that data to appear in the context of the program. Thanks for your input into this post much appreciated, I will let you know how I get on.
Regards Peter
