Hello, this seems to be a known issue, but persistent/retain variables don't seem to work properly on RevPi devices. Is there a workaround to this? All I need is for a few configuration variables to be remembered through power cycle.

I'm now circumventing the problem by creating a separate TCP client for all Write actions. Upon registering a changed variable, I enable this client, until the change is processed.

Thanks for the information, I ended up just making a long if else statement as each variable had 3 possible options, I figured at least this way it would still work.

That works, thanks, I was trying to get a variable into the Position>Height and was struggling, then I was using absolute movement, never though to try relative movement.

Use a VAR_INPUT for properties. The reason for the error is that you can't get a reference to a property. Using a VAR_INPUT will copy the property to an input variable.

You can write any expression that evaluates to TRUE/FALSE in that property, you can also call a method from the property.

Put %f in the "text" field and rValue in the "Text variable" field. You could also have a look at the possible placeholders: https://content.helpme-codesys.com/en/CODESYS%20Visualization/_visu_placeholder_with_formatting_sequence_in_a_string.html

I am using TargetVisu in my v3.5 sp20 p6 (64-bit) project. I see no control that will allow me to bind, edit, and display a LREAL variable. Am I missing a library? If it exists, why can't I see it?

You could try using the VUM_UserGroup struct from the VisuUserManagement library. I haven't tried this, but there is a variable for tAutoLogout to set the logout time.

if you just want to show the currently logged in user in the visualization, then just create a field with text %s and as text variable VisuElems.CurrentUserName

I know, that is not the issue though. The issue is the HMI_Blower_Auto_PB variable not changing to false. I do not have the IO modules plugged in yet, that is why there are NaN values for those variables. That should not affect this.

Vijeo doesn't support TIME variables, so the easiest thing to do is convert to a STRING in your program, and use that variable. You could use TimeAsString:= TIME_TO_STRING(TimeVar) to get a string that looks like this: T#5h10m45s200ms

To search for an exact phrase, put it in quotes. Example: "getting started docs"
To exclude a word or phrase, put a dash in front of it. Example: docs -help
To search on specific fields, use these field names instead of a general text search. You can group with AND or OR.
