Good morning, I have two numeric entry buttons on the same screen. One is using a "Signed int 32 " called TOP_STAGE with PLC address 418413 (and SP2402) the second numeric entry button is FINAL_STAGE "Signed int 32 " 418405/SP2402. This lets the user enter two seperate Z positions for our testing machine. They are on the same menu and work fine functionally BUT whatever I enter into the TOP_STAGE numeric entry, it does NOT show up on the button/label when you hit Enter. So entering a -6.000 for FINAL_STAGE and -5.000 for TOP_STAGE will make my machine function properly but for the operator, the TOP_STAGE button will still show 0.000. In the C-MORE software the Simulation shows everything working properly and displays updated values after entry. This is an EA7-S6M c-more panel connected to an Emerson SP 2402 Unidrive. Any ideas on this? Please help.
