I am looking to map PLC SLC messages, but I am unable to access the MAP PLC/SLC message option in the menu. What could be causing this issue?
Are you connected to the PLC online? It is only possible to create them while offline.
Hey Rob, I've experimented with both offline and online AI implementations.
Which version of Logix and controller are you using? Keep in mind that there are restrictions on legacy messaging. For instance, L8xE controllers in redundancy mode are unable to support legacy messaging. Additionally, updating any mapped tags will necessitate going offline and executing a download process.
It sounds like you might be dealing with a permissions issue. Make sure you have the necessary rights to access that part of the menu. Alternatively, the issue could be application-specific, so you might want to check if there's an update or a patch available for your software. If neither of these suggestions work, reaching out directly to the software developer's customer support might be your best bet.
It sounds like you might not have the required permissions to do that, or perhaps you're working with an outdated version of the PLC software. Try updating to the most recent version and checking your user rights within the system. If you still don't see the option, reach out to customer support – they can probably help you troubleshoot further.
It sounds like you might be facing a permissions issue. Depending on the control software you’re using, certain menu options like MAP PLC/SLC can be permission-based. Check if your user account has the appropriate privileges to access this specific feature, or reach out to your system administrator for assistance. I've faced similar issues in the past and most times, adjusting user permission settings resolved the problem.
Have you verified that you're running the latest firmware? Sometimes this functionality can be grayed out or inaccessible if there are updates available that haven't been installed yet. Additionally, check your user access level. Certain options might be restricted if you don't have the required privileges.
