Gateway timer isn't working

Ignition

Hi,
I am not sure why this gateway timer script isn't working.

tags = system.tag.readBlocking
("[default]PredictionTabTags/LMF Temp Rate of Rise",
"[default]PredictionTabTags/LMF Power On_Off",
"[default]PredictionTabTags/Ladle Furnace Temp")

x_value = tags[0].value
y_value = tags[1].value
z_value = tags[2].value

if y_value is 1:

	value =z_value + (x_value/60)
	system.tag.writeBlocking("[default]PredictionTabTags/Ladle Furnace Temp", value)

else:
	k_value = z_value+1
	system.tag.writeBlocking("[default]PredictionTabTags/Ladle Furnace Temp", k_value)

currently,
x_value = 60
y_value = 1
z_value = 2840

What does this mean to you? What isn't working?

Hi @Kevin.Herron
I guess you are not seeing the whole post:
title is: Gateway timer isn’t working.
the post starts with:
"Hi,

I'm not sure you're understanding me.

What does it mean that it "isn't working"?

It doesn't run? there's an error? It produces a different result than you expect?

You aren't providing enough information.

As title describes, this is a timer, it's set at 1,000 ms, It should increase the z_value,
Two conditions, increase by x_value/60 if z_value =1, otherwise increase z_value by 1.
No errors, the value isn't increasing, that's what I ,mean by not working.

This isn't doing what you think it is.

You've created two independent statements here.

  1. assign tags = system.tag.readBlocking
  2. create a 3-tuple of string values

It's also missing the list syntax. Try:

tags = system.tag.readBlocking(["[default]PredictionTabTags/LMF Temp Rate of Rise","[default]PredictionTabTags/LMF Power On_Off","[default]PredictionTabTags/Ladle Furnace Temp"])

This should be

if y_value == 1:

Got you, thank you @Kevin.Herron
