Hi All,

Newbie questions but I have two of them!:

1. I am unable to toggle the bit on I:0 (it keeps at 0). If I go into the data file and manually change it to 1, it quickly reverts back to 0. If I try to Force On, it doesn't start the accumulation of the timer so :confused:

2. It does not let me add new data files. I also cannot seem to access any other inputs and outputs besides I0 and O0 despite there being 20 inputs and 12 outputs.

Hardware is AB MicroLogix 1000 and software is RSLogix Micro Starter Lite 8.

You can't toggle an IO input bit, use a wire to force the input or use bits instead of actual I/O to test your code.

You can't add data files while online. You have to add them and then download again

I dont know what restrictions starter version puts on you, But I would expect some
 
Even while offline, I cannot add any data files. The option is grayed out. From reading online, I don't see any limitations of the Micro Starter Lite in regards to adding data files. The only limitation I found was that you can only use it on Micrologix 1000 and 1100 models. Any other possible suggestions?

I got the timer working now when I forced the input or changed it into binary and manually changed the bit from 0 to 1, but is there any reason why you cannot toggle an I/O input?
 
Right I did force the input and it worked, but I was just wondering as to why you can't toggle on an input.

Now the main issue becomes how could I access the rest of the inputs and outputs since it doesn't allow me to add any data files or specify anything other than I0 and O0.
 
Ok I got it. I can't add data files but when it says O:0/2 it means the second output. I thought the format would be O:2/0-15. So I really do have access to all of those inputs and outputs.
 
when you say you cant add data files? i think there are restrictions on size are in the free ver. but you should be able to add.
