i am using the 1771 ife/b and 1771 ofe/b modules, for PLC-5. when i started there was a green light flashing. so i went into the module manuals and studied chapter 3. firstly, there were example programs but they are not complete. then i went to the IO CONFIG, because the manual said i could take advantage of the software i was using.
there i configured my I/O modules starting with the PLC-5 programmable processor on the left most slot "A", and then the DC, AC and lastly the Analog modules on slot "F" for the 1771 ife/b 12 bit with 16 I/O PORTS and slot "G" for the 1771 ofe/b 12 bit with 4 I/O PORTS.
i went into the analog modules where i set the INPUT TYPE to Single ended, the DATA FORMAT is BCD and the DIGITAL FILTERING is DISABLED.
the ADDRESSING MODE is "1 SLOT".
I then proceeded and pressed the INSERT RUNGS button, this automatically inserted the rungs for me to my astonishment and relief. after all this i downloaded the program and the green light went on without flashing. now the manual says that if its flashing that it is waiting for configuration write, so i guessed that the configuration bits had been sent.
so now, can i proceed with normal programming or is there a special way that analog cards receive and output their instructions. cause i see that they scan their instructions. can you please write me and example program that drives something, motor, valve anything.
