Hello!
Further to a previous post that Ken helped me out with but thought it should be a new string.
On our L32E project I had an IF4 module programmed in the I/O config and set it to NOT "Major Fault On Controller...." This allowed me to have the program be identical every time and our software could then config the Local.xxx tags dynamically for scaling when we had the IF4 present. When our clients did not want a pH/Conductivity etc. we would not include the module. All we would get is a green blinking I/O light and all was good.
The config for this 1734-232ASC and the 1734-IE4C has the same "Major Fault On Controller..." selection but that does not seem to matter. Under the GENERAL tab of the PLC config you need to define the number of expansion I/O modules. If this does not match the number physically present it will fault the CPU.
I liked that I could complete the program and "anyone" could load up our PLC's in the shop with the program and not know anything about RSLogix. Is there a way to "trick" the system in the way we did with the L32E?
Thanks again in advance for any help!
