No I deleted the second com driver. It was throwing all kinds of errors. I just finished the project and it doing fine now. Thanks for the support! Hopefully Archie will come up with a solution.

I moved all of my F8 files greater than 50 to an F9 file and read them from there. Working fine so far!
Thanks..

Thanks again, Friedrich. I only get the "IndexOutOfRangeException" when I was trying to us the second com driver. I narrowed my problem down to not being able to read a span of more than 58 F8 variables if I am reading from each group of 10. I can read F8:0 to F8:58 fine, but F8:59 shows 0.(No errors Showing) If I stop reading all variables in the F8:20s range for example,then f8:59 works. I hope that makes sense. The only time spacing matters is if I use 1 or more in a group of 10. I'm going to try to move half of my F8s to F9s and see if that works.

Well it did not work in my full project. I'm getting "System.IndexOutOfRangeException" error and flickering pilot lights and switches, then failure. Anybody have any ideas? HELP!!

Update. I added a second driver to my test program (EthernetIPforPLCSLCMicroCom2) looking at the same IP address and split the data between the 2 drivers. It works!! Now I have to test it on the main program.

Thanks Friedrich. I read that earlier post and agree with you that it is probably related. In my original program there were very few gaps in the data. I was reading most of the registers between F8:10 and F8:80. I made the test program just to make sure what was happening.

Thanks for the input.

Support Questions / Digital panel meter and floating point

I have a project that is behaving oddly. I have narrowed it down to the basics as to better explain it.
I add digital panel meters looking at F8:12, F8:22, F8:32, ect. When I get to F8:72 the meter will not read the data. (Shows 0) I am using a Micrologix 1400 and also tested it on a Micrologix 1100 with the EthernetIPforPLCSLCMicroCom1 Driver. If I delete one of the other meters like F8:22, then F8:72 will read correctly. Is there any work around for this?
