I have a PLC application that is currently interfaced to Lookout, and it has many radio buttons. The Radio buttons in Lookout are tied to V-memory addresses in the PLC and changes work both ways, with Lookout changing the V-memory and V-memory changes updating the radio buttons in Lookout. I want to add a Cmore screen to mimic the Lookout functionality however the radio buttons do not work the same way. In Lookout the radio buttons have a value of 1,2.3.4.5, etc. and in Cmore they are 1,2,4,8,16, etc. All the PLC code is written to work with the Lookout radio buttons and I would hate to have to add registers for the Cmore and then try to sync them all. Does anyone have a simple work around for these incompatible radio buttons? Thanks, Butch

There is another option in C-more other than using a word tag, you can use Discrete tags for each button. Either way you will have to write some code in your PLC but at least this one is simpler.
