    Hi @WildFireDefenceSystems (Customer)​ 

    This is a known problem with version 3.11.0.26

    https://community.automationdirect.com/s/question/0D53u00005UCSBJCA5/productivity-suite-simulator-no-retentive-tags-version-311026

    Please update the software to version 3.12.1.21 - This version is only for Windows 10 or 11.

    If you have another version of windows then use Productivity version 3.10.2.1

    These can be downloaded here:

    I hope this helps you out.

    Regards,

    Thanks,

    I've spent hours watching videos trying to find what I've done wrong.

    Hi @WildFireDefenceSystems (Customer)​ 

    Have you ensured that you have transferred the program and the simulator is in RUN mode?

    See the picture above.

    If you can send a screenshot we can determine more.

    Thank you,

    Garry

    I am not quite sure what is meant by the 'green tabs' or by the tabs 'lighting up.'

     

    Please post pictures that highlight the issue.

    What Windows OS rev?

     

    [Edit: I will infer from your posted image in this thread that you have not put the simulator into RUN mode.]

    Three things to check.

    • PLC In Run Mode
    • Monitor enabled
    • Tools>Options>Ladder>Monitor Display Option> Use Block Fills
