phild76 Posted June 5, 2014 Report Posted June 5, 2014 I've got a question in regards to the AWT instruction and how to use them in succession, one after the other, in RSLogix5000. I'm using AWTs to send print commands to a Zebra printer using their language, ZPL. I've attempted to cascade the logic, in parallel rungs. Meaning, I'm using the previous AWT's serial port control .EN and .DN bits to trigger the next AWT instruction with no success. Am I doing something wrong by using these bits, or is their a buffer issue? Once the .EN and .DN bits go true, do I have to unlatch them for each AWT instruction to reset everything? If anyone has an example on how to use multiple AWT's, one after the other, I'd truly appreciate the help! I can also attach a screen print of what I'm trying to accomplish, if necessary. Thanks!

phild76 Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Posted June 5, 2014 Problem solved. I figured out that you do have to unlatch the .EN and .DN bits after the scan of all the AWT instructions is complete. Quote
