Gotchas

Timeout immediately

Field Detail
Symptom The read or write node reports a timeout as soon as you deploy or trigger it.
Root cause KV Host Link uses port 8501, not the SLMP/Computerlink port 1025.
Fix Open the kvhostlink-connection node and set Port to 8501.

Timer/counter preset write error

Field Detail
Symptom Writing T or C preset values returns a PLC error such as E1.
Root cause Preset writes through Host Link WS and WSS are supported on KV-8000/7000-series CPU units, not every KV model.
Fix Do not write T or C presets on unsupported models; use read nodes for timer/counter monitoring.

X/Y address rejected

Field Detail
Symptom X or Y addresses are rejected by the editor or by the PLC.
Root cause X and Y use decimal-bank plus hex-bit notation. X10F means bank 10, bit F.
Fix Use X10F, not X275, and select an -xym profile when you want XYM aliases.

R/MR/LR/CR address rejected

Field Detail
Symptom R, MR, LR, or CR addresses are rejected.
Root cause These bit-bank families require two-digit bit notation.
Fix Use R200, MR100, or another form whose low two digits are 00 through 15.

DM100.D returns a bit, not a dword

Field Detail
Symptom DM100.D behaves like a bit read instead of an unsigned 32-bit read.
Root cause Dot notation means bit-in-word access.
Fix Use DM100:D for an unsigned 32-bit value.

COMMENT write rejected

Field Detail
Symptom A write to DM145:COMMENT is rejected.
Root cause :COMMENT is read-only through the high-level API.
Fix Use DM145:COMMENT only with kvhostlink-read.

Count with bit-in-word rejected

Field Detail
Symptom DM150.3,4 or a similar bit-in-word count is rejected.
Root cause Bit-in-word addresses do not support ,count.
Fix Use DM150.3 for one bit, or use a direct bit family such as R200,4 for bit arrays.
