If you want to leave the CALC block in Auto, do what Tom suggested, only replace BO01 with BI01, and in the CALC block do: IN BI01 OUT BO01 as two of the steps. jim -----Original Message----- From: foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:foxboro-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of tom.vandewater@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, January 08, 2004 8:42 AM To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [foxboro] Set BO01 from button Rob, I'm assuming that you want to set a boolean output of a CALC block from a button on a graphic. If the CALC block is in Auto the boolean outputs are secured so you won't be able to set them! In order for the button to work the calc block will have to be in manual! I'm telling you how to configure the button if you are using the Display Manager. If you are using Foxview it may be different. 1. Create the button object on a graphic 2. In the Display Configurator select the button object 3. Select "DISPLAY" from top menu bar 4. Pick "select" from drop down menu 5. Pick "FUNCTION" from top menu bar 6. Pick "execute program" from drop down menu 7. In "Path name:" box enter: dmcmd setb CMPND:CALCBLK.BO01 1 8. Replace the 1 with a 0 if that is what you want to set 9. Replace dmcmd setb with dmcmd toggle if you want to toggle the .BO01 from current state to opposite state.
