I am replacing the aging PanelView1200 (DH+) HMIs with Red Lion G308 (DF1) on a PLC5
All is going well with the changeover, they are using different coms ports on the PLC so I can run them both at the same time which helps with the testing and reduces downtime. I am using the G308 as an ethernet gateway to gather recipe values from a MySQL database and log machine stats to 2 different locations, both locally and at head office across the country. All this is running very smoothly.
I have placed some switches on screen, exactly how the Panelview 1200 is setup. The HMI can read the Input bits and displays them correctly, however when I alter the bit (flip the onscreen switch) the bit will not change.
The Panelview 1200 is changing I:54/4, but I cannot with the RedLion HMI
This is the same for all the I:xx bits
The problem persists if I disconnect the Panelview.
