Hi

I am getting the following error message when stating a program
the error is on a ModBus TCP Master controller

Error "ModBus TCP Master bad quality 40034" (40034 is the tag value with the error)

what does this mean bad quality and how can i clear it. only seems to happen when i start with a value already in that location. for example if i have 0 in there I dont get the message but if i have any value above 0 i get the error message.

The only operation I have on that tag is that it is linked to a internal tag.
eg globals.tags.tag1.value = globals.tags.tag2.value

the value seems to pass accross ok and seems to work as normal otherwise.

thank you

Bad quality has to do with the communication between the PLC and the HMI. That error occurs when you have a bad cable or the packets on the line are malformed. You might want to try increasing the Silent time Under Modbus Master Settings.
