Problem with click plc and cmore interface

[rafiaz]

Hello all,

I have an application where I want to input into a plc from an operator interface a number (4 digit decimal number). I am using a click plc and a cmore operator interface (model EA1). When using the input command in the ladder logic of the click plc to input the number from the operator interface,  I receive a error from the operator interface- P009 INVALID VALUE IN THE FUNCTION CODE RETURNED FROM THE PLC.

I know the C more operator interface sees the PLC through testing. Through testing I know the operator interface can input bits into the plc. So communications are established.

What it seems like is that the addressing or data type is not correct. But I have tried many combinations. Is it possible that the CLICK PLC cannot input integers or floating decimals? Automation direct said it could.

My PLC input command is using a Data Register Input. I have tried Single Word Integer (DS), Double Word Integer (DD), Hex (DH), and Floating point (DF).So far in my ladder logic I have just the one receive input command and end statement. Are there any other commands I need to intialize or use to establish data types? Are there any online examples of communications using click PLC?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Provide complete detail on the operator being used on the CMore panel including the protocol being used and all settings in the actual numeric input object.

And by the way - neither the Click PLC nor the CMore display are supplied in any part by Host Engineering whose site you have posted on. It would be better to post at http://forum.automationdirect.com
