Ignition v7.2.5. PLC5/60 Ser.E Rev.B w/1785-ENET.

When monitoring a timer’s staus bits {Enable, Timing and Done}, the OPC item path of [device]Tx:x.DN works fine.

The OPC item path of [device]Tx:x.TT actually reports the status of the EN bit.

The OPC item path of [device]Tx:x.EN actually reports the status of the TT bit.

You are correct.

We’ll have it fixed in the next beta release.

Thank you,
