Title: Brains won't debug.
Post by: Zadig on October 03, 2014, 02:22:28 PM

I am trying to get a brain to talk to a PLC via modbus. Modbus is working well but when I try to debug  and have the View Brain screen to the foreground it won't debug.

To test the situation on sure ground, I re-created the simple brain in Art's video that sends an output to Output 2 if the X axis moves. The problem is still the same. The minute the Viewbrain screen is minimised, all works well, but the moment I try to debug, nothing happens, I.e. no output indication in Diagnostics and no debug in Brainview.

My PC is not connected to anything other than the PLC, and is working simply as a test bed.

I'd be grateful for any advice, cheers.
