When the PLC Requests the Same Screen Twice the Screen is

Not Displayed

Possible Cause:

If the MRR already contained the screen number that the PLC requested, the OIT would

not recognize the screen request.

Possible Solution:

Modify the PLC program so that when the MRR already contains the screen number that

the PLC is requesting, the PLC writes a zero to the MRR before writing the screen number.

If using an OIT3100 and OIT4100 Series, activate the Clear Register/Bit After Receiving

Screen Request feature. Refer to the Configuring the MRR with Enhanced Features

section in CHAPTER 5: Displaying Stored Screens.
