My original program that I began testing with was much larger, so when I started to have these difficulties I set up a new, very simple program using only three rungs and started over from scratch to make it very simple to troubleshoot. I previously included a screenshot of the .RSS program along with screenshots of how each tag was connected to each object in FTView.
I'm keeping it simple with "{[SLC505_Test]START}" - "{[SLC505_Test]STOP}" - "{[SLC505_Test]RUNNING}", and as before, the "Start" and "Stop" momentary pushbuttons on FTView directly interact with the SLC500 program with no issues, but the "Running" multistate indicator will not interact using either tags "{[SLC505_Test]RUNNING}" or "{::[SLC505_Test]B3:0/2}"... only digital inputs will work
The tag browser "Offline" folder displays all my slc500 tags, but "Access Rights" displays "NotAvailable," does anyone know why? Is there another setting required in the slc500 program to change this maybe, etc.?
The tag browser "Online" folder is empty... Is this normal? If not, what should I see?
I'm open to a step by step procedure of what I should be doing to make FTView and the SLC500 communicate correctly. I've researched several youtube videos, and they are all performing the same tasks with different naming... I followed them to the letter, but the same issue arises each time.
