Greetings all first wanted to say thanks for all the great info as I have been looking here a lot trying to figure out my issue, but having said that I have been unsuccessful.
Here is my issue-
I have a PLC 5/20 processor trying to communicate with a new RIO(1794-ASB series E) that has 1 analog (IE8/B) and digital (IA8). I'm using RSLogix 5 8.00(CPR9). I have followed the book on how to setup the ASB but can't seem to find the analog module. I setup the RIO with the auto config and it passes with both LED sets on the processor and RIO rack all good. I have setup the BTW/BTR by inserting the code from the module setup which was pretty self explanitory.
Part of my thought is when you are configuring the module with the popup for module addressing I have tried both auto-pick and manually, same results. In the code there are other BTR/BTW for the same type of RIO modules and I've mimiced that with the same results.
Here is my BTW:
module type IE8/B
Rack 003
Group 000
Module 000
Ctl blk BT42:1
Data file N43:9
Length 1
Contin No
BTR:
module type IE8/B
Rack 003
Group 000
Module 000
Ctl blk BT42:0
Data file N43:0
Length 9
Contin No
Somethings to note:
I'm doing this in the shop on the bench which doesn't have everything as the unit in the field. Really just a couple of digital cards in the chassis but has everything thats going to be on this RIO drop. There is other racks in the field that will be communicating to this rack on the same blue hose channel.
Thanks for the help!
