Title: Tools led
Post by: peter81 on February 24, 2018, 01:10:04 PM

Hello,

can someone please help me with the code bellow. I have two led's on my screen named T01LED and T02LED and I want them to light up when tool number changes. I've put this code in PLC but it doesn't work. Thanks.

local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
local currenttool = mc.mcToolGetCurrent(inst)

if (currenttool == "1") then
scr.SetProperty("T01LED", "Value", "1")
     else
         scr.SetProperty("T01LED", "Value", "0")
end
--------------------------
if (currenttool == "2") then
scr.SetProperty("T02LED", "Value", "1")
     else
         scr.SetProperty("T02LED", "Value", "0")
end


Regards,
Peter

You need to change 1 thing and it will work.

if (currenttool == 1) then         Don't put the numbers in  " ".   
if (currenttool == 2) then 

I put tested this code in the PLC script and it works just fine. =)

local inst = mc.mcGetInstance()
local currenttool = mc.mcToolGetCurrent(inst)

if (currenttool == 1) then
     scr.SetProperty("TestLED", "Value", "1")
else
     scr.SetProperty("TestLED", "Value", "0")
end
