Hi Tinker,

I tried that exact method but it did not work as expected. I could see the hex value changing, but the bits never changed state in the Data Viewer.

Also, monitoring the ladder, the contacts never activate.

And, getting checksum errors when doing it that way.

Any other clues ?

Thanks much,

:)

One more problem.

I assigned 424601 (DH25) to the Annunciator lights, then unpacked it to C100 thru C105.

In my PLC logic, I turn these on in various combinations but get no indications at the lights.

I feel I'm overlooking something simple, but do not get it.

Thanks for any help.

Fist of all, I'm not familiar with those text panels, I'm guessing they work something like a C-More as far as communication with the PLC, i.e. the panel polls the PLC for information.

If you are setting C bits in the PLC and want lights to come on on the panel, and those lights are controlled by reading a word register, then you will need to Pack Copy the range of bits into the word register (DH25 in this case) just the reverse of reading the buttons

Textpanel 200P, button address 400002 (modbus) DS2 in the Click.

How do I unpack this so the buttons will activate C10 thru C14 with the Function keys on the Txt panel ?

The unpack only wants a DH address. I 've tried many things, no worky.

Thanks,

:confused:
