fuzzy logic, I knew it was contained in the 24-bit memory space. I assumed it was using all 24-bit. I'm interested to see the final result. Thanks for the extra effort.

Layden, If you copy the Timer to a DINT[3], you will see the hidden data in the first DINT. The first 3 bytes (0-2)are the CST that was captured on the previous scan of the Timer instruction. The 4th byte contains the Timer status bits... e.g. EN, TT, DN. The Timer ACC logic is like this: ...

From inspection of the VBA... MyTagINT = 0 release (MouseUp) 1 LeftClick (MouseDn) 3 RightClick (Touch and Hold) 4 DoubleClick The VBA was not intended to "fix" anything, but rather, to help identify the mouse events. The PCAP will trigger touch event and the Window driver (or touchscreen ...

Adam, Try running this GFX which has VBA to help indicate LeftClick or RightClick and etc. Use your mouse and verify RightClick on the Text object. Then try using the touchscreen to see if it has the same action. You'll need one HMI tag called "MyTagINT" for the numeric display. FTVSE VBA-R ...

Adam, Since this issue occurs when using the PCAP touchscreen it might be a multitouch issue. A simple tap on the screen is a left mouse click. If you touch and linger (touch and hold) that becomes a right click and that would explain why you are not getting the release action. The Windows touchscreen ...

Adam, Google "HMI stuck bit" and you'll see it can happen on just about any brand of HMI software. There are various causes... probably 1/2 of the time it's related to communications being overloaded or a timing issue (PLC didn't "see" the bit change because the duration was too short). If you focus ...

Duplex Mismatch can and does result in very random behavior because of undetected collisions where the packet involved in the collision is not re-sent (thus that packet never shows up). Collisions can be rare and random, thus the packet involve in the collison (where the packet is just dropped) seem ...

I'd suggest calling tech support and have them review it. They will need to know the firmware revisions for your L7 redundancy and the Diagnostic file from both the Primary and the Secondary (RM2 module). If you want to review it yourself.... Export Diagnostics from both the Primary and the Secondary.... ...

In Logix, the External Access should be R/W... Other that that, anything external... the HMI, another Logix controller, or an Emerson controller... can R/W. Must be something on the Emerson side. What is the Output Mode in that table?

Generally DeltaV will initiate R/W commands (UCMM) and Logix will respond. This is similar to how an HMI will initiate R/W commands and Logix will respond. For an HMI, a lot of the data is scatter tags. For controller to controller (Emerson to Rockwell) we generally create datasets. The easiest is to ...

Most people have the concept of a Local/Remote or Operator vs Automatic control as illustrated below with a two-position maintained selector switch. It would require operator intervention to change the "mode" from Operator to Automatic and back to Operator again. Command Source, PCMDSRC, is built-in ...
