Question: I added analog IO pointer method during online edits. I then wrote to changes to PLC. But my analog IO still does not work, where do I start checking?
Answer: a. Make sure you go to Program Mode, then back to RUN. If you do online edits while in RUN mode, the PLC does not turn on the SP0 bit, so the new code never runs. You can verify by viewing values in system words (V7700, V7701, etc) to see if they hold the expected values. If they do not, they will populate with correct values when you power down and then power up or when you go to Program mode and then back to RUN mode.
