I am working on conversion from a Softlogix5 to a ControlLogix and the system has a Panelview 1000. I was able to get the PanelView communicating and reading tags through PLC/SLC mapping. The problem I have is writing data back.
I made an application with a single push button pointing to an INT tag array named N54. The tag in the PanelView is N54:0/5
When I press the button nothing happens. I found that if I set the PLC type in PanelBuilder32 to SLC 5/04 it works. But when I set it to any PLC5 type or ControlLogix, it will not write nor give an error message.
The converted program uses elements higher than 255 and also files such as N999, so I need the PLC5 type or it will give me invalid addresses in PanelBuilder.
Any ideas of how to get this to work when I set the type to PLC5?
