Hi,
I have an application in factory talk view ME edition for a panel view+ 700 and a program in rxlogix studio 5000. I manage to make all my application work with the PLC animating fans, navigating screens, indicators light the works. Everything works great except for one button. The momentary button connects to one a XIC instruction in the PLC in only 1 RUNG and all it does is enable a clear command and unlatches a bit. The problem is that when I press it it doesn't always work. Sometimes it picks it up immediately and other times it takes a couple of tries. I think it is some sort of scan issue. I even made a trace to see if I could capture the signal but it doesn't pick it up. it does however, unlatches the bit and runs the Clear command but again, not consistently. Any suggestions?
I tried changing the maintain time on the momentary button and changing the maximum refresh rate both to lower and higher numbers but still no luck.
