Understand how event record works

[kcks66]

Hi Mikhail,

I am working on a Timer to count Minutes and Seconds. My application is to provide a button for user to click to reset the Timer back to 0.

I used Auto Control Module to send a RESET command to the Timer when user clicked the button. The result is as expected as the Timer is reset back to 0.

I want to record the reset click action as an Event. The record shall record:
– The time when user click the reset button
– The Timer counted Value just before reset to 0

My channels configuration (102 is Timer Value, 103 is output channel Button):

My auto control module configuration (I want to copy 102 value here):

However, I always get the copy value 1 as the result (looks like copy from 103):

Pls advice for the correct configuration.
Thank you.

Hi,
Try unset the Copy channel data checkbox, and specify channel value and status.
May be, it’s better to create a command trigger rather than a data trigger.

Hi Mikhail,

Pls advice for what specific channel value needed to be insert here since I want to copy value from other channel.

I tried to use command trigger but the result was same like data trigger.

Hi,

I want to copy value from other channel

You can do that in the output formula of the channel that is used for sending command. Use Val(n) function.

In a trigger, you can copy value of the channel that fires the trigger.
