First you need to narrow down the fault.  In the left pane double click on Processor Status then click the error table and tell us what the error description is.  

Looks much better now.  The only thing I noticed is it looks like users signatures are missing also.   Great work!

You should contact RA tech support about this.  A program can be cleared from a processor if one of its safety checks fails.  RA has a fault extraction tool that could help narrow it down.

I know, if only I had mentioned our Analog Simulator or some other product in that post I was going to update my signature to state we were having problems but it is broke as well.  Does anyone know where the original thread is?  Maybe I can add something to it.

I've let the site owners know

No doubt.  Something is wrong.  I'll report it.

What device are you trying to use it on?

Don't know if your budget allows for it but you could put an IB16 expansion module on it to add DC inputs.

Look at page 36 of the following manual. You would connect your 110VAC or L1 to one wire of your sensor and connect the other wire to your input. Then connect the com of the group associated with that input to the neutral or L2. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://literature.rockwellautomation.com/idc/groups/literature/documents/um/1766-um001_-en-p.pdf&ved=0CDMQFjABahUKEwiT45-I7uPIAhVO7mMKHT95Drk&usg=AFQjCNEnqITUpNs1q9JaYKEAOrv2ubDxnQ&sig2=_Q4l-TUlwmO8WwR_bIQmLg

I know there are people successfully using RsLogix 500 with Windows 10 but I haven't personally. But so you allow for the use of virtual machines? I have an XP and W7 guest I regularly use for programming and at that point it doesn't really matter what host you use. I've even used it with no problems with an Ubuntu OS.

Glad it helped. It helps us polish our code by bouncing it off of each other.

Ok I had to get some help from Justin from Red Lion but I have a working demo that does what I would like and what I think Joe is looking for. You can't use the screen background color to do this but you can make an object the size of the screen and link it's color to a tag. In the case of this sample program, the tag is "BackgroundColor" with 0 being blue and 1 being gray. I have a popup that shows when you click the popup button. The properties of the popup screen I have added actions of "On select" BackgroundColor=1 and "On remove" BackgroundColor=0. Clicking it turns the "background" to gray. You can still see the clock running at the bottom yet the focus is on the blue. Also the attached sample works in the emulator so you can test without a screen. Dimming test changed.zip

Yes but that would block the view of all other objects. What I believe Joe wants to do and I'm interested in is having the objects appear grey to bring priority to the pop up but still be able to see the grayed out values.

Ooh I like that idea! Lot's of times the operator doesn't close the popup and can't figure out why nothing else works. Why not technically dimming the rest of the screen, how about changing the background color to a dimmer color before showing a popup?__________________

Also if you are willing to give the location is the machine someone may be close enough to give you a hand.

Come on Ken, can't we have a little fun

What do you have? Where are you located? Got any pics?

You're right Mickey, I missed the Micro Starter Lite. Still it should be visible in RsLinx shouldn't it? Just won't do you any good after that.

The video should have shown you a com port number. Was it 2? Can you take a screen capture of it in the device manager?

Follow the instructions in the video and see what your com port is.

Are you using a real serial port or a USB to serial adapter? My first guess is you are selecting the wrong com port. My second is something else has the port tied up. Com 2 is an odd one. Do you know how to go to the Device Manager and find your com port?

Have a look at the String Concatenate (ACN) instruction. Also here is a helpful ASCII chart. http://www.theasciicode.com.ar/

Probably because I forgot to post it. See attached 10minutetimerroutine.RSS

Attached is a basic example of a timer that will execute a routine every 10 minutes. Have a look at it and see if it makes sense.
