Shared Device Outputs

Succinctly, here is the problem statement:

- I am using an ET200M as a remote I/O Shared Device for two PLC.
- PLC_A is associated with I/O module 1 (on the remote I/O rack).
- PLC_B is associated with I/O module 2 (on the remote I/O rack).
- Both PLCs are programmed to turn on a digital output on their respective I/O modules.
- If both PLCs are running and connected to the ET200M, both Digital outputs turn on (this is correct).
- If PLC_A is placed into stop mode, or it is disconnected from the ET200M, the Digital output associated with PLC_A turns off (this is also correct). But, the Digital output associated with PLC_B also turns off (this is NOT correct). The output associated with PLC_B should stay on, because PLC B is still running and connected to the ET200M.

I have attached a simplified, stripped down project that exhibits this problem.

I'm using Step 7 5.5 Professional SP 4 PLEASE HELP!!
