Hello all. I have a DINT named “Alarms” in a CpLX and it is mapped in ABCIP in Edge. The issue is, setting up the alarm group in edge I need to read it bitwise but it doesn’t like any of the methods I have tried thus far. I read online that I would address it (for example) as “Alarms & 8” to evaluate bit 3. It might work in scripting but the alarm group doesn’t like it. Any help would be awesome. Thanks
Have you tried “Alarms&8” [no spaces]
Yes, and that doesn’t work either however, I just found out how to do it. DINT is “Alarms”. As I set it up bitwise in the alarm group I put Alarms->b3 (for bit 3), and it works now.

Never mind. The idea I thought was working only worked until I saved my project. It will only save the first instance and delete the remaining tags. I am convinced (being cynical) that this is their way to force us to use bool tags, increasing our tag count meaning we must spend more $. Seems unethical to me but……….
