I am writing a LabView vi to control a Watlow F4 temperature controller via serial cable and modbus. I need to read the current temperature profile status (whether a profile is running or not) so that if it is I can terminate it, otherwise delete the old profile and create a new profile. So far I have had no luck obtaining a status. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried reading Digital Output 1 (4111) which is described as "monitor current status (profile)" and and receive "0" even when a profile is running. I also set the controller DO1 setting to event rather than off.
Not sure what I am doing wrong or if I'm overlooking the proper register address. I am using the Watlow F4 library for LabView. Also, I've tried looking at work arounds such as reading the remaining profile time but it seems that after a profile is terminated the remaining time is not cleared so unless the profile runs to completion the remaining time will always be greater than 0.
