Switch Problems

Hi
I am using Winlog Lite to communicate with an ADAM 6051
It communicates OK using Modbus RTU TCP with an IP address of 192.168.0.81
I can read the inputs perfectly, but when it comes to setting one of the outputs ON using the Toggleswitch gadget, nothing happens.
If I set said output ON, via other means, the Toggleswitch gadget detects this and changes from OFF to ON as expected.
However, clicking on the Toggleswitch gadget has no effect.
Please help, I am tearing my hair out here.
Regards
Keith

Hi,
Thank's for replying.
I have tried setting the NEED APPLY property to both YES and to NO. it doesn't help.
Which setting is correct, I find the help is a little unclear on this

Hi
I have fixed it now.
There were multiple problems:
I had the gate configured wrongly, plus a problem with user access levels and also, "Need Apply was set to YES.
In addition, I have found, that, when using WinLog that the modbus addresses are out by one.
To control DO0 I must write to 0x16 instead of 0x17 as stated in their docs, for instance. I am thinking that it may be based at zero instead of one, as all the addresses are like this.

Thanks for your help
Keith
