Hi again
I'm still at a loss, I have managed to re-create the problem back on the bench but I am still uncertain why it is doing this.
The fieldpoint cFP-2120's IP got reset when I formatted it recently so i changed back the ip to how it was before and deployed the program.
and then now the touch screen will not see the the fieldpoint, nor will the other program that runs on the pc. So it is like the fieldpoint has crashed or the shared variables arnt working becuse it just sitts there doing nothing, even if you reset.
I then re build the program and deployed it all is well again.
I have been lookin gin the alias files and they have always been correct, but I did notice in the Field point alias file There are lots of differnt names I have called other fieldpoints, like Filed1="234.234.234." , Field2="234.234.234." etcc
how does the fieldpoint know what name it is? is this by ni-rt.ini?
Any more suggestions appriciated
Thanks, Chris

Chris,
Name is stored on cFP. Did name of cFP get changed when you formatted? If so, that might explain part of problems.

The prob seems to be that if i have a running project that works on the touch screen and the PLC and then move to a new system and change the IP addresses to suit and if I only compile the touch screen and deploy it it doesnt work. The thing is to make sure u compile both everythime u deploy PLC software and new touch screen. Even though it is the same software just with differnt IP addresses too look at.

Chris,
Curious as to procedure you are using to change IP address?

In the Project explorer the the CFP in the hierachy at the top it says the field points name and th eIP after it
SO i right click and go to properties and change the IP in there and deploy it

Chris,
What would happen if you put 3 RT targets in your project and then targeted each of them from the same vi? You would have to create a build spec for each but would make it easier to redeploy to targets.
