My actions when I create it for “MonAnL” : Add “MonAnL” to CFC Change “Process object view” to “Parameter” for PV (STRUCT) input Drag and drop block to totechnological I/O Drag and drop PV input to technological I/O This action correct when I do it for channel driver. What could be done wrong? I use PCS7 v9.0, CFC V9.0 + SP2 +Upd2 Attachment MonAnL CMT.jpg (10 Downloads)

The workaround for your version is: Delete the signal 'PV' in your CMT under the entry of the block MonAnL1 but leave the entry MonAnL1 untouched. Manually add a parameter in your CMT under the entry MonAnL1 and name it PV. Drag an drop the parameter PV from the block to assignment. Best regards....
