Wired a new prox to an unused input (/14) on channel 4.
I test the prox, and its light plus the indicator on the IQ16 DC Input card are tracking with the switch's activation... Prox sees part, lights come on; take away part, prox and card indicator lights go out.
But when I look at the Data Table for I:4/x, bit 14 is not changing from 0 to 1 when part activates the prox, even though the indicator on the card lights. DC supply for the prox is the same supply as the card's, of course.
Do I need to actually put an examine on/off in the program for the data table to reflect the state of the input on the card?
Thanks.
