Hello all! Our process controls guy took a job with another company and I'm the lucky guy that gets to try and fill his shoes.
We have been having a problem with one of our DeviceNet scanner modules (1769-SDN) where it would lose all of the settings anytime we had a power loss. Since we lost power again last night, I decided I would just swap out the module for a new one. I have fumbled my way thru getting almost everything back to running. The scanner doesn't show any error codes, but I'm having problems with some remote I/O.
The problem I'm having seems very strange. First I'll give the configuration of the RIO rack.
1. 1769-ADN
2. 1769-PA2
3. 1769-SM2
4. 1769-IQ16
5. 1769-IQ16
6. 1769-OW16
7. 1769-OW16
8. 1769-CRL1
9. 1769-SM2
10. 1769-PA2
11. 1769-IQ16
12. 1769-ECR
My issue is that I have power on some of the inputs of cards 4 and 5, but it's not correlating in my program. According to the PLC all of the inputs are off. Additionally, the PLC is trying to turn on outputs for cards 6 and 7, but only outputs 8-15 will turn on, on card 7. Card 6 is completely dead. Everything else seems to be working.
Any help would be appreciated. Been racking my brain and researching for the last 5 hours.
Thanks in advance!!
