Your close!
The tool-prep-number signal is a S32 integer pin and the classicladder 1--xx
pin is a bit pin so that won't work.
Classicladder can input and output S32 pins but you need to do a little more
work :)
You have to enable and specify how many pins you need when loading the
classiclader realtime module.
so find the line that says something like this:
loadrt classicladder_rt
and change it to something like this:
loadrt classicladder_rt numS32in=5 numS32out=5
This causes classicladder to export S32 pins and map the first five word
variables (%W0 - %W4) as S32in pins
and the next five as S32out pins (%W5-%W9). Note that it also makes the regular
(memory) word variables start
at %W10 (in case you where already using word variables you would would have to
change them).
Ok now link tool-prep-number to classicladder.o.s32in-00
now variable %W0 will hold the requested tool number.
When you get this working I hope you will post the ladder program so other can
see a working example.
