PROFACE ADDRESS

    HI, I am monitoring part counts on a machine. in the part display of the proface hmi it gets its data from [PLC1]%AI04322. So the variable comes from the plc which in this case is from the robot controller. The problem i have is i have the project software from all the various devices but i cannot tie up the address to anything. Can anyone help.

    Try looking in the SNPX variables to see if there is an address that matches 4322. The example below shows 2 entries in the SNPX settings to send robot variables to the HMI. The 1st has an address of 1201 and the 2nd is address 9101. These "addresses" are robot addresses that external devices can map to to view/edit robot variables. You can look in the Teach pendant for the variable list or view the system.va file in the MD directory in the robot.
