I am new at programing and using PLC's. I am having no luck in Tagging an EZ-touch Panel toggle switch to activate a PLC input. What is the proper address to activate say Input x1. We have a 260 PLC. Thanks for any help

You can't use the display to change an input, these are updated each scan by the PLC from the actual physical inputs themselves. Let the display change V registers and C points. If using bits, be sure to allocate groups of 16 bits starting on a 16 bit boundary (C0-C17, C20-C37 etc). Treat the groups as 'PLC write only ' or 'display write only '. If you intermix them you'll get problems. (Though sometimes I'll clear a group of the 'display write only ' bits on 'first scan '.)
