Timer tags

[millco 0]

Using a ML1400 and factory talk machine edition connected up via ethernet.

Question is, how do I get my timer tags to factory talk from Plc? All other tags show up but not the timers.

Timers and Counters are simple examples of "compound" datatypes, with Boolean (the .DN and .EN and .TT bits) as well as DINT (Preset and Accumulated time) sub-elements.

They should show up as "folder" icons in FactoryTalk View Studio's address picker when you browse the controller data tables using RSLinx Enterprise.  Click on the Folder, and you should see the sub-elements.
