HWINFO

Is it too much to ask that the number I put in SLOT can be a memory designation like V0 or D0 etc? I was doing some testing and I had to keep changing the number and writing to the PLC. Instead of keep writing to the plc would have been  "convenient" to just change the number of the slot using the Value feature from a memory location.

Never mind, I had to keep opening the box anyhow to change the Information Type.

FYI, Designer's I/O System View gives you the same details.

Are you needing it for runtime purposes and/or HMI purposes?

That works. We were just laying out a system and saw that command HWINFO. Instead of going over to the PLC and always looking, was nice to bring up the Designer I/O.
