Hey guys,
I had a troubleshooting callout yesterday to the local WWTP, The local electrician figured it was a DN scanner failure but after further troubleshooting, I determined the "Treatment" processor had dumped Its program. When I first pulled up RSLinx I could see the processor was communicating over the Ethernet network but I noticed that the processor didn't have a name on it nor could I get online with it.
Usually, as you know the processors under the tabs in RSLinx are labelled with the current program, which all the others on the network were beside the treatment PLC processor. So I had to redownload the program onto the processor and of course, everything fired back up. My question is, what causes a processor to just dump a program like that with no power failure or anything alike?
regards,
Tex
