Labelling DLT's From PAC

Greetings

Could anybody shed any light on the code below, as to why the label on the DLT does not change? The code is executing as the scenes are being triggered.

Thanks Tim.


Once GetCbusLevel( Net, C4, "LsCycleFrtDoor") = 100% then

begin
SetScene("LsWelcomeFrtDoor");
SetStringIBSystemIO("Label Group Text", Net, C4, 10, 3,'Goodbye');
end;

Once GetCbusLevel( Net, C4, "LsCycleFrtDoor") = 50% then

begin
SetScene ("LsGoodbye");
SetStringIBSystemIO("Label Group Text", Net, C4, 10, 3,'Welcome');
end;

P.s. "LsCycleFrtDoor" is group 10 (I just tried putting 10 in for S&*ts & giggle's) also net=254 C4=58.

 

Are you using the correct variant? I think that when ToolKit refers to Variant 3, it is actually variant 2 on C-Bus.

You can also use the C-Bus Diagnostic software to see what messages are being sent, or to send your own label messages to try to get it working.

 

Thanks Guys,

Appreciate your input, I had tried label variants 0 to 3 which correct me if i'm wrong the integer is zero based & relates to 1 to 4. The reason I was on variant 3 was because it was nearing the end of Nock-off Friday and being hung over from Australia day I was checking messages broadcast onto the network via the diagnostic Utility. I did notice that when sent from the PAC the Language part of the string is not transmitted, however when setting the Label via Diag Utility the language is appended to the string.

I have just checked the project (On a Saturday I Know!) by adding an object to the workspace area, then clicking in the system IO language it was set to null.

Would I be correct in saying that I need to 'initialise' the language IBsystemio in programming once?.......... Or do what?

Regards Tim.

 

I think that is right.

Change to using variant 0 (which is called variant 1 in ToolKit) and it should work.

This doesn't sound right. If you get a chance, post an extract of the Diagnostic Utility log showing what you mean.

It defaults to English, so it should work without having to set the language first. You could set the language to English in the logic initialisation to see if it makes a difference.

 

Ok Fixed it thanks to your help....

What I had failed to notice when looking at the Diagnostic utility, was a language was being transmitted. It just happened to be Null because my eyes on friday were only seeing the words [English] which I took for it not being sent.

Added the SysVar in Initialisation, hey presto as if by magic it Worked!!

Thanks again for your input.

Cheers Tim.
