Question

When I have my Optimate module connected to a DL205, my LCD and/or light bars work, but my pushbuttons don't...why?

Answer

The Optimate module cannot WRITE to the PLC's memory when the 205 is in Run configuration, therefore only the LCD and/or light bars visually function. The DL 205 should be reset to the 'term' position in order for the Optimate module to write to it.
