Chris,
I am not sure if I follow exactly what you are doing, but it sounds like
you want to connect the IN parameter of a COUT block from OFL_1 of a PLB
block and then have the COUT block drive CO_7 directly in a different
FBM. You need to set the COUT IOMOPT =1 and then enter the FBM's ECB
name (not the PLB block) into IOM_ID and the physical output CO number
into PNT_NO.
COUT.IN = DCI_5.OFL_1
COUT.IOMOPT = 1
COUT.IOM_ID = <ecb_name> * See COUT description in B0193AX
COUT.PNT_NO = 7
However, I do not know if it is allowable to directly connect to an
output of an FBM that is running ladder logic. I gave this a quick try
on our system. I created a COUT block as described above and tried
connecting to an unused output in a FBM10/13 combo running ladder logic.
I got the same W51- Invalid Hardware/software type error. An FBM9 with
ladder logic will have an ECB8 where as one without will have an ECB5.
This may be your problem. Perhaps one of the IPS (IOM) guys can verify
if this is correct.

All,
Working on Ver.8.3 Windoz with CP271. I have FBM9/14 expansion set up
for
ladder logic. Is there any way to access the COUT param through a COUT,
MTR, GDEV, or other block with out having to use up IFL's in the ladder?
I
have logic in a different ladder with DCI_5.OFL_1 mapped to
DIO_3.IFL_29.
CO_7 is the output I need. The ladder is
IFL_29 CO_7
69 ---| |------------------------------------------------------------(

OUT
I would like to set the DCI_5.OFL_1 to the .IN on a COUT block but I am
unable to set the COUT block IOM_id. I am getting a W51- Invalid
Hardware/software type. According to what I have read, it looked like
the
COUT was the only way to make this work but I cannot get the .COUT of
the
COUT block mapped to a CO_X.
Thanks in advance for your help. I am looking forward to the responses.
Chris
