Trying to run a Script program from a Graphic but getting error Read Only Property

[Product_Support]

Issue

Trying to run a Script program from a Graphic but getting error Read Only Property.

The control in the Graphic has been bound to a VALUE object, in the Script program an output variable (ManualChange in the code below) is bound to the same VALUE object.

The program is supposed to toggle the value of 'theOutput' when triggered by setting 'ManualChange' from the Graphic, this works in versions prior to 1.4.

Numeric Output theOutput, ManualChange

LEAD_CHANGE:
  ManualChange = Off

Goto WaitForManualCHG

WaitForManualCHG:
  If ManualChange = On then
  if theOutput = on then theOutput = off else theOutput = on
  Goto LEAD_CHANGE
endif

Product Line

EcoStruxure Building Operation

Environment

• WorkStation
• Automation Server - AS
• Enterprise Server - ES

Cause

Starting in version 1.4, SmartStruxure does not allow more than one write reference to the same VALUE, once a write reference is defined for a value or other references to the same value are READ ONLY.

(See Reference Guide and References beginning with 1.4.x)

Resolution

Change the ManualChange variable in the Script to a PUBLIC and then from the Graphic bind directly to it.

Numeric Output theOutput
Numeric public ManualChange

LEAD_CHANGE:
  ManualChange = Off

Goto WaitForManualCHG

WaitForManualCHG:
  If ManualChange = On then
  if theOutput = on then theOutput = off else theOutput = on
  Goto LEAD_CHANGE
endif

See screen shot below of the binding in the Graphic
