Ignition version : 7.9.7
PLC: Siemens S7-1200
Hi.
I use a state variable from our PLCs to animate the icon for the device in question. Today I noticed some strange behavior.
State variable and intended colour assignment:
0 = Initialising = grey
1 = Interlocked = yellow
2 = Idle = grey
3 = Active = green
4 = Error = Red
5 = Alarm = Red
I’ve set up an indirect tag and the setup works for state = 0,1,2,3. The datatype of the state variable is a short. However, things get weird after 3. See results below.
0 = Grey (OK)
1 = yellow (OK)
2 = Grey (OK)
3 = Green (OK)
4 = Green (!)
5 = Green (!)
6 = Green (!)
7 = Red (!)
8 = Grey (OK)
9 = Grey (OK)
I’ve tried the animation as a script and the result is the same. I’ve also tried changing the state variable to an integer with the same result. I’ve also tried deleting row “5” just in case the double entry was causing issues. This made no difference.
Can anyone help me please?
