Is it possible to force an output on or off with a DL-305. My assumption is that these are older units and that wasn't an option?
I've got mostly 05, 105 and 205s. I know the 305 is a little different and I've only got two here in the plant so my experience is minimal. I was trying to figure out what an unmarked I/O point went to without tracing the wires around throughout the enclosure. The dope who was here before me was the most cryptic programmer. He thought that it would mean job security and guess who's not here. Oh yeah and he didn't believe in wire troughs. "They create too much noise." We are dealing with 24vdc discrete signals here, no analog, no RF. Now it just means more headaches for me.
Anyway thanks for letting me complain about the misery that is my workplace. Any help I could get would be good. I was trying to use the Data View to look at the output and force it on. I suppose I could put in an "always on" contact and go from there but that is more screwing around than I wanted to do.
Thanks again.
