Hi,
If You try to monitor analog output directly it is not possible. You should mirror PQW to some flag or data bleck word and monitor this mirrored value.

Code: Select all

L PQW256
T MW0

Hi,
Actually You are right. My basic idea is to mirror same value which are going to analog output to flag word and afterward to monitor this flag value.
..

Code: Select all

T PQW256
T MW0

Hi,
That means that monitoring is not possible. It does not mean that this address does not exist.

Hi,

You cannot directly monitor the analog input and outputs such as PIW & PQW.

But instead of the PIW xxx or PQW xxx you can directly enter as IW xxx and QW xxx.

For example: if you want to monitor PQW 252, enter as QW 252.

Note: No additional program is needed for this.

Hint:

Sometimes in a VAT you can't monitor the values. This can occure when you are looking at it in full screen mode.
Try to "restore down" your window (little screen) and only look at the variables you need.
