An existing project has a “menu” button that when pressed opens or closes the menu popup. the button is a Set Bit.

In the properties, I see that the button is writing to an address of LB: 100. I’m not sure how to decipher this. What doe LB mean? Where can I see what 100 is assigned to?

The window that is being used as the menu is window 36, so i know that’s not where the 100 came from.

New to the software, used to Allen Bradley equipment.

When in properties I’m not seeing anything in the Help File that explains the LB designation.

Hi @wbieri, thank you for contributing to our forum.

  1. Our LB stands for Local Bit. It’s an internal memory address that is used to hold binary values of 0 and 1. Depending on whether the bit is on or off, you can have the Set Bit object execute macros, toggle on and off, or open and close windows within the attribute window.
  2. To see what LB-100 is assigned to, navigate to the View tab and select Address Grid. This will open a side window showing where each memory address is located and what is assigned to it.

Please let me know if you have anymore questions or concerns.

Thanks for the response Aaron.
Appreciate the detailed photos as well. This lead me right to the Common window where the menu window was for lack of better description “called as a global object” i was able to duplicate it there and set up the new object as LB 101, and it all works great.

Thanks again
