Context value, bit to word. Bit is refreshed with value 0 but word keep with 1 value

General

Hi folks,

I've serched for something similar to my issue, but I have'nt found.
A dashboard button send value 1 if is pressed. After 5 seconds (delay), this bit is set to 0 again.

With function setbit, bit 0 of a word is set with the button value (0 or 1). Then this word is writted with Modbus FC06.

The problem is that bit returns to 0 after 5 secons of (value:1), but the word keeps in 1 value. I don't understand why.

See attached the code:

function setBit(number, bitPosition) {
    return number | (1 << bitPosition);
}

var xAuxPLCRentadorax0=global.get("AuxRentadora.b0");
var wAuxPLCRentadora=setBit(xAuxPLCRentadorax0,0);
global.set("AuxRentadoraWord", wAuxPLCRentadora);

Global vars values:

AuxRentadora{
b0:0,
Word:1}

AuxRentadoraWord: 1

Thanks in advance

It is not easy to understand exactly what the problem is.
Can you provide a simple flow illustrating the problem, that we can import and test?

Hi @Colin,

See attached the flow part affected.

Function "Bit a word AuxPLCRentadora" was different previously:

function setBit(number, bitPosition) {
    return number | (1 << bitPosition);
}

var xAuxPLCRentadorax0, wAuxPLCRentadora,word;
xAuxPLCRentadorax0=global.get("AuxRentadora.b0");
wAuxPLCRentadora=setBit(xAuxPLCRentadorax0,0);
global.set("wAuxPLCRentadora", wAuxPLCRentadora);

msg.payload = {
    'value': wAuxPLCRentadora,
    'fc': 6,
    'unitid': 1,
    'address': 114,
    'quantity': 1
}
msg.topic = "WriteAuxRentadora";
return msg

The problem is that in context variable, bit turns false but word keeps in 1 value.

Thanks in advance!

That isn't a simple flow that we can test, as it includes modbus nodes, which obviously won't work unless you have the device available.

[Edit] If you can configure inject node or nodes to inject sample data to show the problem then that would be ideal.
