I am planning on using bits from data words to trigger messages on an operator interface (using the lookup text part), and need just a little bit of help. The DL06 for the project supports the instruction type, and I plan on using bits from v1400 and v1401 to accomplish this. Question #1 - Is there anything special that needs to be done with these 2 v-memory locations in the initial stage or other places in the program, or can I just use the bits from them? (example) If x0 is true, then turn on B1400.0 Question #2 - To make the message display on the screen, why won't it let me reference B1400.0 as it's address to be triggered from? Does it have to be referenced as something else? I 've tried to look at the bit map to see if another address should be used, but didn't see anything..

1) Theres no setup, you can just use them.
2) To display a message using a bit of word (In C-More), you select the discrete data type, then select "V " from the drop down menu and it will let you type an address and bit number.

1) Nothing special needs to be done.
2) The addressing is always done by the word address. In this case it would be V1400.

I believe also that bit of word in c-More is referened using an OCTAL bit number. In DirectSOFT it is a decimal bit number. Hence, the last bit in V1400 is
B1400.15 in DirectSOFT
V1400.17 in c-More

I just checked on mine and it gives me a drop down box to choose 0-15 for the bit.

Good! Forget my comment then. That may only be true when "importing " tags into c-More.
