Is there any way to save a tag value?

Post by gaboho »

Hi, I am new to programming, I've just made a little basic and simple program but I don't understand half of the tools on IX Developer 2.40, anyway I've been reading and trying everything to figure out how to save one tag value.

I have a number displayed which counts how many times a tag has changed, I want to keep this number after shutting down the display and displayed the counting back once I've turned the display on again.

Is there an easy way to do this?

I hope you can understand me, English is not my first language

Thanks in advance

Hi gaboho,

You should be able to assign your value to another tag and check the Others box on your tag list and the check the Non-Volatile option. This will store the value to the non-volatile memory on the panel and the value there will be restored from there on power loss.
