Over a year ago we installed a system for a customer that has a PLC5 and a 15" EZ-Touch HMI which we purchased from Automation Direct. We are using Remote I/O to communicate to the HMI. Ever since we installed this system we have had intermittent issues with the touch screen not responding to touches. Most of the time the screen will be ok but occasionally nothing will happen when you touch a button, such as a momentary push button. If you keep trying, sometimes it will start working after pushing it 5 or 6 times. Sometimes it works every time. I stood there one day and pushed the same 2 buttons about 50 times and they worked every time. My boss wants me to replace the EX-Touch. Maybe the issue is in the EZ-Touch. I have checked all my connections, termination resistors, baud rate, etc and cannot find anything. I am attaching my RSLogix 5 file to see if anyone can see aything in the program, especially the BT that looks awry.
