You will not see anything in the Mach diagnostic screen if using the PMC.  There is a test mode in the PMC for diagnostics.  The type of device you use for inputs and outputs doesn't matter.  Pokeys, PLC, MODBUS, etc...  all will work with the PMC.  The test here is if it functionally works and does what you want.  Then having lights lit up in the diagnostic screen of Mach is useless.  However, you could add a rung on your PMC ladder program to raise/lower a Mach signal so that you could see it on the diagnostic screen.  :)

Hi,
why do you need to 'see it' on the diagnostics screen?

That would be like a beast having two arseholes, one at each end, Doctor DoLittle called it a PushMePullYou.

Hi,
well yes but you've already got a diagnostic indication, the Enable button in Machs screen.
If you look at the event properties of the button it changes color with the button-up or button-down,
which in turn effects a change in OSIG_MACHINE_ENABLED signal. What more diagnostic do you need?
