Modify value of a num in module with C#

ko414du4

Hi all,

I am trying to read a num data from MainModule.mod, modify it in C# and send it back to MainModule.mod. 

So far I have succeeded in reading the num data, modifying it in C#, but not sending it back. How do I send the modified value back to MainModule.mod.

Any thoughts deeply appreciated.

See the following examples (make sure you defined your Rapid variable as PERS):

<div>MODULE MainModule
</div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;
</div><div>&nbsp; PERS num Value := 4;
</div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;
</div><div>ENDMODULE
</div>
