Hello Archie.

I was working on a screen to display temperatures of a furnance, We have about 12 thermocouples connected to 3 different input cards on a SLC500. The problem is that even with different addesses on Analog Value & Digital Panel Components the components with the same input Address but diferent slot ex(I13.0 , I13.1, I13.2, I13.3) show the value of only the first address (I13.0). I tried to change to different address with same result. Also i notice that for the control and driver it doesn matter if i put I13 or I13.0 like if it only reads the first value of the Input.

In order to continue with my project i have to make a workaround to show the temperature. What i did is move all my inputs to Integer Memories and read the values from them. It worked but i have to put more ladders, and you know it would be great if you can tell me how i can read the input values directly.

I attach an example of what my problem is, hoping you can help to solve it.

Best Regards.

That patch disables the communication optimization, so if you have a lot of controls on a form, it may run slow. A new patch or version update will be available soon that fixes this.
