LED not working at output channel

[afzal]

Hi,

i would like to use output channel to blink the LED in .sch file.

let’s say, to switch ON the motor, i send the command “1” on output channel 701 and i wrote in LED condition
if output channel 701, values =1, LED blink Green.

why LED is not working for output channel instead for input channel it’s working.

do i have to set the formula somewhere to read that value of output channel by server ?

Thanks

Hi,

Led can blink if you bind it to input channel. You should create a formula that changes input channel value every second, for example.

Something like

public double Blink()
{
  return DateTime.UtcNow.Second % 2 > 0 ? 1 : 0;
}

Then use this formula in the input channel row.

is it possible to use it for output channel ?

in my case it is not working for output channel.
i would like to use for output channel to show that switch is pressed/ON.

Output channel only declares a command. It doesn’t send command itself, and it doesn’t store any value.
To display any kind of value, you need an input channel which stores a value.
