I have been using this forum for a while now and can usually find an answer to all of my questions, but this time I must ask.
I am using rslogix 5 with a Plc5/20 connected to a PanelView 1000 through DH+. I am trying to set up a new word to send a number to display on the screen. I can see that it is already using the N10 data file area for similar processes. My problem is that I have found two words that when viewed with radix = binary/subelement show that none of the bits are being used. But one word has an 'F' (word1) under the FW column and the other (word2) has nothing in that column. When viewed in the radix = Elemnt only mode word1 is shown as being used and word2 is shown as being unused. When i look at the data file, word1 has data (16533) and word2 has no data(0). However, when I do a global find both words have no results.
So finally, my question is... Can I use word1? or is it being used somewhere and I can't see it?
Any help would be great.
