I have an application where I am hooking up a GE quickpanel view with a versamax plc and a devicenet card. I am trying to get the two communicating. So far I have issued a commreq. to the module with all the info and it has responded "the network operation is ready to proceed". My questions are these.
1) how often do you initiate the commreq. and send it to the module ( just once on power up or multiple times like every second)The quickpanel is only going to have 4 pusbuttons on it.
2) How do you proceed with communicating. Right now the devicenet module net light is off and all the net lights for the devicenet card on the quickpanel are off except for module status is lit. Not sure how to bring everything on-line and communicating.
Please advise any next steps. I have built the view panel and assigned the tags and downloaded to the quickpanel okay. Any thoughts what to do next. Thanks
