You've got a colon instead of a semicolon at the end of your first RETAIN variable declaration.

HI Tom,

Sorry Tom It's ok but now I have another problem. Please see image.

My function is working without VAR RETAIN but the result is not good.
As example When NbIncrement_Scan =1 the output is equal to input. It's Ok.

But when My NbIncrement_Scan est >1 then the output is equal to zero.

That's why I tried to use VAR RETAIN.

I hope you understand my problem.

Thanks in advance for your help

Best regards

If you want to keep the valve of NbIncrument and CounteurIncrement between calls use a Function Block instead of a Function.

A Function does not store the valve of it's variables between calls so each time the function is called NbIncrument and CounteurIncrement will always be initialised to 0.  A Function Block will store the value variables.

Hi acmall,

I do it but still the same problem. NbIncrument and CounteurIncrement are also initialized to 0 every call.

Thanks
Best regards

Hi Acmall,

Sorry to be late I was in vacancy.

It's ok now. It was mistake in call function.

Thank you very much.
