Using Simatic manager step 7, plc S7-400 Regards Ken

At the PLC move the INT to a WORD (e.g. FW100), (it's "not" necessary) Then move the Bytes to the output. Important is that you must change the Bytes. e.g. HMI value to FW100 FB101 -> QB 0 FB100 -> QB 1 regards CaOd

	Regards, Jacek What is confusing you is the fact that you never see a number but always its digit representation. So you end up thinking that the number is the representation. - Andrej Bauer Any claims against me - based on whatever legal reason - resulting from the use of any code and/or ideas presented on this forum shall be excluded.
