Hi All,
I've been programming RSLogix 500 for about 5 years now and I'm just getting into 5000 programming. One of my first projects here where I work was to mod a few buttons that drop printer programs into a laser printer. It's a pretty simple process where a few bits are set by a button, you press another button to have the laser read the bits, then unlatch everything after a period of time has elapsed so that the printer I/O can settle. However, it doesn't work. I've posted a screenshot of this. I'm going to preface everything by saying that I've searched for the ONS and the OTL in the screenshot to ensure they are not anywhere else in the program. Also, I had the OTL in the program as an OTE before and I changed it just to see if I got better results (which did not happen). I've tested the buttons live and watched the entire rung go green with the exception of the output. Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions on what I might look into, please feel free to chime in.
