Process Data Item not populating AXL SE AI4 (I/U) Modules

Salutations!

After including AXL SE AI4 Modules to the Axioline F configurations and labelling functions (Analog Input 1, 2, etc), the input channels do get updated in the Process Data Item column for defining variables.

image.pngAdditionally, under the Module Access tab for the defined Analog Input Modules I am unable to link to a PLC variable. As in, a new variable name is input into the Variable field for the input channel as so
image.pngand after hitting ‚ENTER‘, the field is cleared. Works the same if the Variable is previously defined as a global or is completely new.
Aiming for re-install of PLCNE and re-testing.

Thank you,

What is the data type of the PLC variable you’re trying to link to the analog I/O variable? I’m guessing it’s a BOOL, which would allow connection to the BOOLs on the digital I/O modules, but not to the integer values on the analog modules.
You can see the data type of the variable by clicking the > arrow in the column heading.
You will need to create PLC variables of types that are compatible with the types of I/O variables you want to connect them to.
Hope this helps.
