Page 122: Oit to plc communication

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.
