I adapted, or so I think, the example program from Appendix B, Page 5, of the Ethernet Remote Master manual. I know that 2 of output modules have errors, and X300 is on. I can't seem to retrieve the error codes however. I'm hope I just missed something simple. http://forum1.automationdirect.com/board/smile.gif PLC 250(-1) // Rung 8 // Address 35 #BEGIN COMMENT "ERROR 5: TERMINATOR I/O SLAVE OR MODULE ERROR " #END STRE VC400 K0 STRE VX300 K0 ANDN SP134 AND SP7 STR C403 SR C400 C417 // Rung 9 // Address 44 STR X300 AND C400 ANDN SP134 ANDN SP135 LD K601 LD K30 LDA O2000 RX TA0

    I think I solved my problem, but I wanted to share this in case someone else runs across this.

    Acutally, I had multiple problems. The first problem was actually not a problem at all. I forgot to put the PLC into RUN Mode. lol

    I'm not sure, but I think there is an error in the product manual. The example program in the manual is as follows:

    VC60 K0 -----------

    ------ ---------------------|SR C60 |

    | C77 |

    VX300 K0 SP124 SP7 | |

    ------ ----- ----- --- | |

    | |

    C63 | |

    - ----------------------------| |

    -----------

    I realized before that the CLOCK line wasn't changing states, and suspected that the comparison to VX300 should have been a NOT EQUAL instruction. Once I realized the PLC was not in RUN mode and that instruction was incorrect, everything seems to be working great now. http://forum1.automationdirect.com/board/smile.gif
