DL06 PRINTV Instruction and D0-DCM

[johnr]

Even though this isn't an "H0" product, the problem works it's way up to DirectSoft so I figured I'd start here...

With fully upgraded firmware in the DL06 and the D0-DCM, the AIN instruction now works fine with Port 2 of the D0-DCM, whereas there were problems in the past.  However the PRINTV instruction still appears to have some lingering problems with the D0-DCM.  PRINTV works OK, in that my string is transmitted as specified, but the designated BUSY flag in the instruction never clears until I re-enable a new AIN instruction, and the COMPLETE flag never sets.  In an identical configuration of my ladder logic using CPU Port 2 instead of the D0-DCM, everything with these two flags works as I would expect.

I can work around this for now with timeouts but what is the best way to report this, and get the problem either confirmed or a resolution explained?  Thanks.

since the PRINTV instruction is part of the DL06 firmware, this isssue is not a problem in directsoft, it's a problem in the DL06 firmware. This needs to be reported to the fine folk at automationdirect.com.
