Remote monitoring and control nano
« on: August 22, 2011, 03:02:06 PM »
I have a nano using 6.43 programming software on PC over ethernet connection through a small switch no other users.

I can load programs and monitor, make changes to memory. I am not able to change state of inputs with mouse even when remote control check box is checked.

T100MD allowed change of states either momentary or latched with mouse.

Is there some kind of setting need to allow this?

When you click on an Input via online monitoring it changes it momentarily (1 scan time only) regardess of whether you use left click or right click. This applies to both new Nano or the old T100M+ PLC.

Only on the simulator can you right-click to latch an input. This is because on the actual PLC the input logic status is being constantly refreshed by the I/O scan. So what you can affect is only change the input state momentarily to affect the program execution but the I/O scan cycle will set it back to whatever physical input signal present at the input terminal.

Appreciate the quick reply. I was thinking when you were monitoring, you could force the inputs overriding the actual input state.
