I have a 3-slot Controllogix 1756-PLS module. I need a way to ocasionally allow technicians to "disconnect" the resolver (using a touchscreen button and simulate the rotation of the machinery using ramp buttons (clockwise and counterclockwise) on a PanelView Plus screen.
I can manually inhibit the module and write to the "Position" value from the PanelView. This allows the machinery graphic to rotate on screen as if the resolver were actually turning. But inhibiting the module also inhibits the I/O cards attached to it. I need the outputs to continue working.
Is there any way to inhibit just the resolver but keep the module's I/O functioning? Any workarounds?
Thanks.
