I have my VB6 app turning on bits and loading intergers in to my slc503 via OPC I use the "MyData3.Write (1)"- This sets a bit. But I can't seem to read out of the PLC using "Mydata3.Read(1)"- one is the item number. Any Ideas Justin

I am attempting to write a simple VB6 opc client. The sample code I downloaded from the rockwell website has a line that gives me a run time error Set Mydata = Mygroups.OPCItems.AddItem(plcdata1,L1, C1 , 1) What does the C1 and L1 mean? Justin

I arm trying to tune a PID loop in a drive in a winding application. The customer wants a rapid acceleration with no overshoot at setpoint. I can get either the fast acceleration or no overshoot but not both. I was thinking of using two sets of loop variables and using a timer to select which set of gains are used during the ramp. Is this something others have done or should I be able to make this work using one set of gains? Justin
