Hi, I am new here and trying to read all the posts related to msg commands but am still in a bind to understand them. I am trying to read data from an ether net IP # and when the ip is not accessible the msg commands errors out. I am testing everything by using a timer to toggle the msg command but after awhile the msg command does not work and the waiting for que space is checked with a "1". I have tried all of the suggestion but am stumped to get one msg command to work let alone cascade multiple msg commands. Could someone lend me their knowledge.

Your post is very confusing. Could you list it out in detail.
Something like:

I am trying to send a MSG from a 5/05 plc with IP Address. XXX. XXX.XXX.254
to a plc-5 with address XXX. XXX.XXX.253

Here is a screen shot of my msg setup dialog box:
