How To Emulate a Momentary Button

[usapatriotforlife]

I have an address called "Alarms_Clear_DAQ" in a PLC.  When I view the PLCAddressValue in a basic label it shows as "FALSE".  The PLC is programmed to clear an alarm bit in another register when Alarms_Clear_DAQ is momentarily set and then cleared.  Everything works as expected if I put a MomentaryButton on to my form, make sure output type is set to "MomentarySet", put "Alarms_Clear_DAQ" for the PLCAddressClick value, and then click the MomentaryButton with the mouse.

However, I want to simulate clearing that value in code and not with a button that has to be clicked.  What is the best way to simulate a Momentary button in code?  Thanks.

(I've tried using a basiclabel with PLCAddressValue set to "Alarms_Clear_DAQ" and a timer control set to 300 ms.  I thought I could just set "basiclable1.value = "True" and then after the timer "ticked", set it back to "False", but that didn't work in my testing.)

The most reliable way would be to set the bit in code, then unlatch/reset it in the PLC:

EthernetIPforCLXCom1.write("Alarms_Clear_DAQ",1)

Thank you. I will try that today.

Archie,

Your suggestion worked perfectly.  Thank you so much for all of your help.
