Title: One More Question - Suspended Programs
Post by: Mike Nash on March 31, 2025, 11:41:19 AM
Several times recently, I have had programs or tasks suspended on the first transition to run on a new project. I don't know if that's because I am importing code, starting from another processor's code and downloading, or what.

I don't recall it doing this in the past, but maybe I'm just forgetful. What causes this?

Yes, I have saved up a bunch of questions.

Corrupted data/project.  How reliable is your comm?
MEMCOPY to structures with bad data, especially STRING blocks.
Outdated/corrupted Memory Image Register data

That sounds like some junk in the retentive memory, possibly brought on by memconfig changes. If you ever see that, try clearing image register. If that doesn't clear it up, I'd like to know more.

I tend to start projects from a similar one, especially some recent ones. The new PLCs were factory fresh and I downloaded my tweaked projects to them. Now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure there were Memory Images in those originals and they were most likely no longer compatible. I'll try to remember to clean things up before downloading in the future.

Thanks!
