Good Day to the peeps of PLCs!
I am trying to create a produced/consumed handshake between two CompactLogix 1769-L16ER BB1B PLCs while online (Studio 5000 v33). When I try to create the Producer in the Consumer's IO tree (under the Ethernet netrwork), the "New Module" menu item is greyed out. The instructional video's I've been able to find show this being done online.
1. Is this even possible to do online with this processor?
2. Is there a check box somewhere that locks this functionality?
3. Does the unit need to be in Program mode, perhaps?
I'm trying not to shut down the unit because the system is running. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Sincerely,
Shane
