Help! Cannot map a single physical 474 Embedded I/O point to a contact in the ladder logic.

[PLC_Dude]

I have been playing with this for 2 days. Have watched many Youtube videos, read much ScadaPack literature. Can anyone help me figure out how to simply map a physical address from the I/O listed in RemoteConnect config to a simple N.O. contact on a ladder rung? Is it really this difficult? Thanks.

First time doing this it can be a bit confusing, compared to the way things are done in Telepace or Workbench. But here's how to do it:

- On the Objects tab, select Object Configuration

- Expand the Digital group, find the desired input, then double-click on it to open it

  (e.g. PIO_SP474_DI6 or whatever you might have renamed it)

- Ensure the Logic Type is Digital and the Logic Variable Type is T_SPx70_BOOL (should be the default)

- Close the object editor and open Logic Editor

- In the ladder diagram logic section, double-click on the contact to open the contact properties dialog

- Click the [...] "more" button which opens the Data Selection list.

- Ensure the "Inside Structure" box in the upper-right is checked to show all objects

- Scroll down to find your desired digital input object

- Click the [+] just to the left of the object name to expand its parameters list

- Select the .VALUE parameter, then click OK, and and you've done it
