Working with bits of a Tag defined as Integer
This time we will see a simple example of how to access the different bits of a Tag declared as Integer. Normally, an Integer Tag is used to control a valve, a motor, or any other device. Within that Tag, we assign each bit to the requirements: one bit for starting, one bit for stopping, a confirmation bit, a failure bit, etc...
In the following image, we have a series of Tags defined as I/O Integer.
As a simple example, when our object activates the alarm, we will animate it with a blink. The blink function must return a boolean value; our Tag is an Integer. Here, what we need to do is assign the Tag we are interested in and then put a dot followed by the bit we are interested in, as shown in the following image.
