Hi,
I've searched the forums and none of the previous threads seem to have a solution to my problem. I am using Logix Designer 27.11 Professional. I have six L71S PLCs in six different machines that are all very similar (all are 27.11). I have one program that I cannot perform online edits. The start pending edits button is the only one highlighted. When I click it, I can edit the rung. Then the accept edits button is highlighted. When I press it, the power bar indicates that the edits were accepted and the error window at the bottom shows that the changes were accepted, but the test edits button is greyed out along with all the other edit buttons, including the finalize edits button. The PLC key switch is in Remote Run. There are no other active edits and the PLC is not in test mode. The other five PLCs are running production right now, so I can't download the failing program into one of the other controllers to see if the problem follows, BUT if I download one of the other programs into the failed PLC, I can do online edits with no issues. I cannot do a compare using the compare tool because of a licensing issue and I doubt IT will have that resolved any time soon. Although similar, all the machines are different enough that I can't simply dump a different program in. Any ideas???
