How to read EN1 in Rapid program

GregoryAshmore

I want to call a Trap routine when EN1 goes high. I tried this line:

ISignalDI EN1, 1, MyTrapProc;

The compiler complains that it does not know EN1.

In the CFG/IO list, EN1 has INTERNAL access, which is ReadOnly to RAPID programs.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

Try creating a virtual output with ALL access and then cross connect the Safety input to the virtual output. Interrupt on your virtual output.

Thanks, Jim. The ABB guy has been here doing some training...and that is the solution he suggested.

 

It works well.

Hi
What if I want to change the value of signal EN1 during simulation? CUrrently I have no access right.

Thanks

Hello,

Because you do not have a real controller so EN1 does not exist. You will need to create a signal to simulate EN1.

In my case, I already create  a controller. I can see En1 in the IO > Signal (offline tab), but i cannot access it since it is internal signal. Is there a way to change the value?
