EA9 toggle button not updating to PLC value
Hey, I've got an EA9 with a toggle button that shows on/off status of a motor. I'm also controlling it remotely with pushbuttons, and modifying the address in the PLC that the button tag points to. when I turn it on or off from the pushbuttons, the button does not change state to match the value in the PLC. is there a way to force the button to keep current with the PLC value?
Can you post pictures of the setup -- or post project if allowed?
Just a suggestion, I would use an "indicator pushbutton" where the bit address and the indicator addresses are separate. Your pushbutton would operate the bit address that starts the motor and your indicator address is the output that powers the motor. So no matter "what" is enabling the motor, your pushbutton would indicate motor's running. I would also - if it is not already - code it as set/reset or a holding circuit with momentary pushbuttons.
