New to programming, please excuse what I'm sure is a long and stupid question:
I'm building a training workstation with a CompactLogix. I have an AI card (1769-IF8) and an AO (1769-OF8C), both configured to 4-20mA. I'm trying to build a simple test program that takes the 4-20mA values on the input and MOVs them to the output (which has a mA panel meter). The input seems to be working properly (although it only gives data in INT format, so I'm not sure how to convert that to mA to know if it's accurate), but the output doesn't show up on the panel meter.
I checked the wiring, I used my process meter to source 4-20mA to check the panel meter. I also tried putting different numbers in a MOV to the output.
Help would be greatly appreciated, there's no one at my company to ask.
