Hey Guys,
I have even contacted rockwell tech support about this, and they seem just as stumped as I am.
I have upgraded the panelview on an old machine, I have the panelview connected to the slc 5/04 through df1 serial connection.
To connect to the plc I used a pcmk cable, ended up having to make a few minor tweaks to the program but nothing extensive. Now my problem lies in that when I disconnect the pcmk cable from my computer, I lose communication on a bit n7:24 which is a screen status reporter so the plc knows which screen the hmi is on, to enabled certain logic pertaining to the screen.
With the pcmk cable plugged in it works fine, no issues. All the other communications appears to be ok, but that particular one. There has to be something messed up in the channel configuration or something, but I am downright stumped, has anyone experienced anything like this before?
Any help greatly appreciated.
