Question

I cannot get my Allen-Bradley Micrologix PLC to communicate with my Touch Screen. I keep getting communication timeout errors. I have everything configured like the manual states on page A-6 of the Screen Creator manual.

Answer

The setup on page A-6 is correct except that Error Detection should be set to “CRC” to communicate properly with an AB Micrologix PLC.
