BCD format

Post by iosif »

Hello everybody!

Does the iX Developper supports BCD format for the tags?
The timers that I use at the Omron PLC CJ1M need BCD format.

Thanks anyway.
We could accomplish many more things if we didn't think of them as impossible.

For anyone needing to have BCD support i would recommend bringing your tag in as an integer either 16 or 32 from your PLC. Then displaying it as Hexadecimal in the analog numeric objects. Because BCD is just Hex without A-F. as far as inputting you have to put invoke the numeric keyboard instead of the hex to make that work.
