Greetings.
I have a 1769-L30ER that runs a new piece of equipment my company bought. I would like to read from and write to some tags on this PLC with a 1756-L82E. I can use a series of MSG instructions to read and write all the REAL and DINT values that I need, but I can't find a good solution for the BOOL data that I need because the MSG instruction doesn't support BOOL data.
Normally I would set up a produce/consume tag structure between two PLCs, but the program on this new equipment is locked and I can't view or edit any existing code.
I thought at first that I would create my own program on this PLC and then pack up all the BOOLs into DINTs for transfer, but most of the BOOLs that I need to see are program-level tags. I can't edit the programs that these tags belong to.
Am I missing an obvious solution, or am I just S.O.L.?
