Well guys im looking for some ideas or help with a problem that im having. I am trying to monitor the communication between rsview and logix 5000, what i am doing now is using a 60 second timer. when the timer reaches 5 seconds it sets my reset bit in rsview that will reset the timer in the plc and set another bit to 1, when the other bit goes to 1 the rsview will set the reset bit back to 0 which also sets the other bit back to 0 and then it just repeats itself, if communication is lost the timer will count to 60 seconds and cause a loss of communication fault.
For some reason everyonce in a while my reset bit does not set back to 0 and the system just locks causing a loss of communication fault.
so basically i am looking for a new way check and insure communication and am just wondering how everyone else is doing it. Im sure there is more than one way. and hopefully i can find a way that is a little easier to use and explain then the mess above so somebody please help.
