I'm using a softlogix 5800 (1789) with a 1784 PCIDS card connected to 1794 Devicenet adapter with 1 OA8 120V output. I've setup everything acording to the AB docs and i'm having some trouble. ISSUES and QUESTIONS: 1. when in rsnetworks i see the properties of the 1794 controller which i have setup with the 1'st module being the OA8 120v output, showing 2 input bytes for each (1794 & the OA8) click the plus sign beside the OA8 and it lists 16 bits.... but looking at outputs there is nothing... why do they show up under "inputs" instead of outputs???
2. the 1784 is setup as node 3... the 1794 is node 1, looking at the 1794 i have a green light on "mod/net status" and a red flashing led on IO status and of course a green on power. when looking at teh softlogix controller i have a error 77 on the 1794 and a error 80 on the 1784. any ideas where i should start? 3. i've read where you have to activate the scanner by turning on the run bit... i've written that as the first line of logic in logix5000 (just that run bit as an output on a otherwise empty line to ensure its true) is this what im supposed to do? i'm very new to rslogix 5000 but have to pick it all up very soon.
