Hey folks,
First, I'd beg you to bear with me. I'm getting a crash course in all things PLC through an engineering co-op position I landed, so if it looks like I'm making rookie mistakes, it's because I am a rookie, so please feel free to point those things out. That said, I do have support through the company I am working for, but they also want to encourage me to seek out answers by any means I feel comfortable with, and on past projects (personal and work related) I have achieved good results by discussing challenges with people who are doing similar things, which is what brings me here. Phew, quite a mouthful, huh?
Okay so onto my question: I have a few RSLogix 500 ladder files that my boss wants me to look at, and he wants me to use the RSlogix 500 Emulator so I can see what happens as a scan runs. RSLogix 500 is installed and working just fine, and the emulator appears to be correctly installed. That said, when I load the SLC project file into the emulator, there's just that white background. I configured a communication terminal per the Getting Results guide, but when I go to load the project file into the terminal in RSLogix 500, I get the following error message:
No Response from processor at selected path/node!
DiagnosticStatus failed: 0x4
If you guys could tell me why I'm getting this, I might be able to suss out a solution, or if you know why and how to fix, I'd appreciate your help. Thanks!
