Trying to use a FP-DO-AC120 module

[MThompson]

Hi,
I am trying to use a FP-DO-AC120 (discrete output module) as a relay to switch of an equipment I control via Field Point 2000. This FP-DO-AC120 is connected to a FP-TB10 terminal base along with some other modules. When I try to use the “write” function on MAX (Measurement and Automation Explorer), it doesn’t allow me to do so and the “this item is read only” pops up. Checking the channel type to where the module is plugged in it shows that is a discrete input channel. I’ve tried to change it to a discrete output type, but when I do so, the status of that slot is “empty base or terminal”. I don’t understand what is going on here. Could anyone please advise?
Thanks for the help.

Hello Adriana,

What is the name of the item you are writing to? Can you attach a screen shot of this behavior? Do you have a different DO module that you could test this with?

Let me know...
