Using PCMK card, and the KL*.BIN files were
not copied from the PASSTHRU\PCMK directory
to the PASSTHRU directory.
Trying to download through a PLC 5/40 using
PanelBuilder software Version 4.0, where the
PanelView 1200 terminal is assigned a rack
number greater than 7.
Using a PLC controller that has 2 remote I/O
channels, with the PanelView 1200 terminal on
both channels as partial racks.
PLC programming problems such as indirect
