Hi Tim, guys

You are right - I want the record to automatically switch its value back to 0 after somebody sets it to 1. Time doesn't really matter. Imagine a pneumatic valve. I have two records two control it: cmd:valve_ON and cmd:valve_OFF. The reason I use two records instead of one is simply because there are two buttons on the front panel of my control cubicle. And the PLC logic is that it checks whether only one button is pressed at a time. This is local control. Yet, at the same time I want to remotely control my system by means of EPICS.

Steve, do you recommend to change the SCAN field to passive?

Hi Pavel,

I don't understand.  Do you want the record automatically to switch its value back to 0 after somebody sets it to 1?  Do you want the switch back to happen after some time interval?  If so, the bo record's HIGH field might do what you want.

Tim

Subject: [db] simple command ?

Hello tech-talkers,


I would like to implement a simple command record, the idea of which is to switch its VAL to 1 and then back to 0. Let's assume we have got the following record:

record (bo,"cmd:valve_trigger")
{
field(PINI, "YES")
field(DTYP, "S7plc")
field(OUT, "@plc/0 T=UINT8 B=0")
field(SCAN, "I/O Intr")
field(ONAM, "ONE")
field(ZNAM, "ZERO")
}

Is there any straightforward solution?
Thank you.
