Hello all
Software:
Factory Talk View Studio ME V6.10
RSLogix 5000
Hardware:
Laptop PC running Windows 7
1769-L32E Compact Logix Proccessor (Ethernet)
1769-IA16
1769-OW16
This is my first time using FT View Studio and I am testing an application for a simple start/stop of a motor. Basically I am just trying to familiarize myself with HMI software as I will have a real life application starting up very soon. I have a PLC Trainer using a 1769-L32E controller with 16 point input and output cards.
Here is what I have done...
1. I created a new application in FT View Studio.
2. I created a display with a start and stop PB icos. I am using a pilot light and an idicator that my motor is ON. (I also referenced the program tags with the HMI tags)
3. I configured communications by going to "communications setup" under the RSLinx Enterprise icon and began setting up what I thought was the correct drivers.
Whenever I try to test my application by running the FT View ME Station and I push START with my mouse, nothing happens. (I am running the run time file on my PC)
I downloaded the RSLogix 5000 program to the proccessor first and tried to test the application and no cigar.
So I figure I have either configured the drivers wrong or maybe I have not refrenced my tags correctly.
I have read the PDF file for the FT View Studio software and watched the videos and still no help to me.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
