Hi,
I want to do the byte swapping in Work Visual 6.0 to transfer a 32bit integer as a signal to the KUKA controller from a Siemens PLC
The WV help instructs me:
- Select the device on the Field buses tab in the I/O Mapping window.
- In the I/O Mapping window, click the Edit signals at the provider button. The signal editor window is opened...
So I select "PROFINET" and look for the button
Where is this button? I have gone through all the menus and all the corners of the interface...
EDIT: Apparently I did not go through all the corners... because the button is a small... usually grayed out thing on the low right hand corner of the screen that looks like a pencil or something...
Sorry to have waisted your time.
Ok... this signal editor really needs good nerves. Its just constantly flickering...
There are two options for byte swapping.
- 1-2-3-4 >>> 2-1-4-3
- 1-2-3-4 >>> 4-3-2-1
What is the correct variant for a Siemens PLC?
... although I can only drag a single orange "SWAP" region over a single 32 bit signal range...
And once I have created a signal in the Signal editor... How do I connect my inputs with it... the connect button is grayed out !?
