Damian Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I believe TM originally requested this a long time ago, but I thought I might throw it out there again. It would be nice to have the ability to address INT and DINTS at the bit level. So just as we may be assigning a normally open contact "MB0", I would also like to assign a contact say "MI8.5" or "DW2.17". Using TEST BIT is clunky, time consuming, and takes up too much rung area, and while in Online mode is not as easy to see if it is testing OFF or ON. Even then it is only converting to a BIT operand with then needs also to be referenced again somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
External Moderators tmoulder Posted March 2, 2011 External Moderators Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 This would be particularly useful for protocol operations, like Modbus (where MI is the most efficient way to move things around) and CanOpen (where it's the only way to move things around).
