Hey guys, I am a student learning to use FTV ME. I had created many displays and had them interacting with two plcs at once. Long story short, Things were going fine. I went in to the lab for extra practice with no teacher. I opened up my project like always and, all of a sudden Stack lights and buttons I had working with it were not working.
The stack lights were coming up with error and the bottom of the screen said "No longer available." I had PVP base tags for start and stop buttons in my ladder program. When I tried to use those, it said "problem writing value 1 to it"
It's like there is no communication to it. I went into the RsLogix Enterprise and tried creating a new communication. That didn't help at all. Same result.
I keep trying to refresh all folders to get my tags and reassign this stuff but, nothing shows up. Now I'm worried because I've done a ton of tedious work on my project which my grade depends on. We don't have much time left and it's low budget so during class I have to take turns with 2 other guys on the plc.
Question is, am I going to lose all the displays I've done and have to start over completely? Just learning the software, I can't do this quickly.
Has anyone seen this problem and can tell me how difficult the solution is? I'll be back in class with a teacher on Monday evening to see if the teacher can figure it out but, man I'm worried to death right now. The teacher has 13 students to help.
