PLM XCOMMAND Control

Hi all,

I have finished a PLM module and it works fine but I though for ease of my operators I wanted to operate the PLM using buttons, I have created a START, STOP, and RESET but I keep getting the following error when I activate the buttons "rtc_invalid_phase_command".

I have tried the following versions of code on the START button can anyone see what I have done wrong?

1.WriteValue "$phase_command:START", "DVSYS.322_TKS_RECIRC/XCOMMAND.F_CV" (I was wondering if I am not writing to the correct named set)

2.WriteValue "START", "DVSYS.322_TKS_RECIRC/XCOMMAND.F_CV"

I would appreciate any help or guidance you can give me.

  Your logic is writing a string "START" to a number field (F_CV) of XCOMMAND, change the F_CV to A_CV in option 2.

  Matt thanks for that, I should have thought about it as I did get it working late yesterday using the numbers that related to the strings.

  No problem, numbers work with the F_CV so you can use either method.
