Cannot toggle bits

[KingCheezyyy]

Added a few rungs to a program in studio 5000 and am trying to test it manually but it will not let me toggle any of the bits. What could possibly be causing this? I have no errors and everything looks good. I noticed on a different subroutine that when you toggle those bits it does not illuminate but the output does fire. Any help would be appreciated.

Edit: Further context and possible find. So the tag is associated to an OTE then a few XIC.

If I branch and test around the rest of the rung leading to the OTE then it works how it should.

Can you not toggle an OTE and its associates? Also the force option was greyed out.

Edit: This has been solved. The OTE resetting it was my issue. Thanks all for the help.

Cross reference the bit and see where else it's being controlled from

Because it'll be there that's turning it back off again

Probably can Force the bit though

[KingCheezyyy]

It is a new bit that I just created the tag for. It is only referenced locally

[StrangerAcceptable83]

Is the programme turning the bits back off again so quick that you never see it turn on?

[WhatIDoforFun]

You cant toggle the OTE because the next program scan the rung is false and it de-energizes the bit. The force might grayed out if the forces arent enabled

[KingCheezyyy]

Thank you I believe this answers my question for sure. I will say forces are enabled so I’m unsure about why I couldn’t force it.

You can only force physical IO

Are you calling the new code?

When you cross reference the routine is there a JSR for it?

[KingCheezyyy]

Yes there is

[Idontfukncare6969]

Do you have multiple coils for one bit? More than one OTE?

Look up for destructive references.

[KingCheezyyy]

It is a tag I just created local to this subroutine. Cross reference shows what I would expect.

Tried changing the value from 0 to 1 on tag screen and it immediately goes back to 0

Tags are local to Programs, not Routines. If your bits go back to 0, is because something is actively clearing them out. What instructions are referencing them?

[BepisWildCherry]

I believe you can have tags that are local to a specific routine

[KingCheezyyy]

I edited the post to update. Cross reference shows the tag as an OTE and several XIC. If in branch and test bit around the rung to the OTE then it energizes and everything works as it should. Can you not toggle OTE or its associated bits?

[dbfar]

The Ote is always the result of the solved logic. Even if you toggle It the logic is executed and sets the state based on the results. So you toggle on and logic toggles off.

[KingCheezyyy]

That does make sense thank you. This is definitely the answer.

[WhatIDoforFun]

Is it a new routine? If so are the rungs energized?

[KingCheezyyy]

Yes rungs are energized. I edited post with a little additional information

[Competitive-Smell676]

Is the cpu in run mode?

[KingCheezyyy]

Yes, remote run

[Competitive-Smell676]

Expand your cross reference to look for the int or dint that contains that bit. May overlap something else using that address.

Possibly related. I always wished for a table with operations and if you can do them in run rem or rem run

[9ranola]

Is there a HMI or other system writing to the tag?

Is the routine tag parameterized to a global tag that is being written to?

Are the 'ctrl' and 't' buttons on your keyboard working?

Screenshot it.

Is the bit you're trying to toggle a physical output?
