    Hi, The result of a simple IF Else command is incorrect. I know this seems impossible but seeing is believing. Image attached. The variables have been set correctly; one WORD 'GVL.AC_Watts' and one BOOL 'GVL.AC_Running'. Why is the BOOL showing 'TRUE' when clearly 71 > 100 is 'FALSE'

      Hi,

      I have attached the project (- API keys:) This is an early development
      stage and u will soon see I am no real programmer, (an Elec Eng by
      profession)... self taught in coding. IDE Codesys for RPI single core.
      3.5 SP 17. The jpg was taken off the application when running on the RPI
      with all field devices working ie Modbus kWhr meters. Note I am somewhat
      stuck with the 32 Bit floating input from the House kWhr meter so I am
      doing a bit of a fudge there. (It measures the total import / export power
      to the house from the grid. I have not got a kWhr meter for the solar
      inverter as I am hoping to access it by another API over my local network.
      (Fronius playing dumb with that and haven't provided the API key promised
      in their promotions.)I did not think to test the program in Simulation
      prior to your email, but it turns out to have the same result. Thanks for
      your interest / help.

    take a look in your Program Modbus

    IF  GVL.AC_Running := TRUE THEN
    AC_PWR_Use := GVL.AC_Watts;
END_IF

    you wanted to check GVL.AC_Running = TRUE but you set it to true.

    to avoid such mistakes simply use statements like

    IF xRunning THEN
    ...;
END_IF

IF NOT xRunning THEN
    ...;
END_IF
