I have a PLC5/40E with 1771-IFE analog output cards. Once in a while the card will "freeze" and a point will only put out 4ma. The PID will appear to be working, there is no fault indication exterinally at all.Register N14:6 is the actual control variable from the PID instruction, and it follows the manual control command, but the point will put out just 4 ma. I have to toggle the PLC5 with the key to get the card working again. The BTW instruction to that card does set its .ERR bit. My questions: what can cause a card to fault like this, and, how can I reset the BTW without toggling the whole PLC5?
