Hello, I'm trying to make a state machine, which at specified times should step to the next state. I don't use a timed sequence since you can't stop the sequence. My problem: In the state the time is measured. After 3 seconds the comparison becomes true, and the putout of the case should switch from enum 0 to enum 1. That is exactly what it doesn't do. The probe shows the selector switches from false to true. Something else that i noticed, the wire inside the case is according to the context help ({unsigned word [16 bit-integer (0-65536)] {enum 1}) the wires outside of the case are the same, except for the {enum 1} What am i doing wrong?

When using ENUMs for a state machine you should always used a typedefed ENUM. This will avoid th eissue you are seeing now. The typedef will alllow you to modify the defintion (add or remove items) and automatically update all instances of that typedef (they can be controls, indicators or constants) in your code. The coercion dots you are seeing are the result of different data types (yes, an ENUM is a unqiue data type) bing wired on the same tunnel or shoft register.

State machine, case won't give enum output

Solved!

Just before you said so i found it on google... However, your explaination made it clear!

The Enum's are replaced by te typedef and it show directly, the cases are named correct, instead of 0, 1, 2 etc

For me this problem is solved. Thanx!
