    Hi,

    I added some custom “Events Types” with color indication.

    for a channel, I enable event on change and use formulas.
    CalVal();CalStat()

    While the value changes, 2 event log appears, screen capture in link.
    – the 1st event only show the new value (“Normal”) with old stat (Leak/Cyan);
    – while the 2nd event show the new value (“Normal”) with new stat (Normal/Green).

    Is there any way to show 1 event only, with new Val and Stat at the same time?

    Hi,

    Likely, this is caused by formulas. Please provide screenshots of the input channel properties and code of the used formulas.

    Channel settings:
    the value can be 0,1,2,3
    the stat can be 0,121,122,123

    Formulas:

    
    int LeakValList(int [] lst) {
    int na = 0;
    int active = 0;
    int inactive = 0;
    int normal = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < lst.Length; i++)
    {
    if (Val(lst[i]) == 1) {active ++;}
    else if (Val(lst[i]) == 2) {inactive ++;}
    else if (Val(lst[i]) == 3) {normal ++;}
    else {na++;}
    }
    if (active > 0) {return 1;}
    else if (inactive > 0) {return 2;}
    else if (normal > 0) {return 3;}
    else {return 0;}
    }
    
    int LeakStat() {
    int s = (int) Val();
    if (s > 0) {s = s + 120;}
    return s;
    }
    

    I was using Cnl, now replaced with Val() for stat calculation, but seems the same.

    Q1:
    for real/discrete channel, Cnl and Val() are value before and after formula calculation;
    but for calculated real/discrete, what’s the Cnl? last value or same as Val()?

    Q2:
    Is it possible to return Val and Stat at the same time using 1 formula?

    I suppose, events created twice, because LeakStat returns different statuses.
    The idea is the formulas like that:

    int LeakStat(int leak)
    {
    // your calculations
    }

    In the channel: LeakValList(210, 220); LeakStat(LeakValList(210, 220))
    Note: now you create a new array (formula argument) on every loop. It’s not efficient, because memory is allocated and cleaned too active.

    Q1:
    Cnl is come from the PLC.
    Val() is stored in the channel.
    For calculated channels Cnl is meaningless.

    Q2:
    It will be included in v6.

    Thanks Mikhail.

    what’s the proper way to pass an array to a formula as input, while the size of array is not constant.

    the input is usually multiple channel numbers. e.g. it can be {11,12} or {11,12,13}

    I came up with the following solution.
    One downside is that I can’t see which channels are called in the channel formula, but not a big deal.

    in dictionaries/formulas, declare the arrays I need to use,

    public static int[] lst_1 = new int[]{1};
    public static int[] lst_2 = new int[]{1,2};
    public static int[] lst_3 = new int[]{1,2,3};
    public static int[] lst_4 = new int[]{1,2,3,4};

    then in channels,

    LeakValList(lst_1)
    LeakValList(lst_2)

    public double LeakValList(params int[] nums)
    {
    for (int i = 0; i < nums.Length; i++)
    {

    }

    }

    In formula LeakValList(101,102,103)

    thanks Romiros, works perfectly!

    In addition to the good approach that @Romiros provided, you can create similar formulas with different number of parameters. Sometimes Microsoft does like that.
