Hello all,
My block plant is controlled by an SLC5/03 which contains the program for all machines involved in the process. This chassis contains a 1747SN. Parameters on all machines are entered via a panelview B6C2.
The mixing section of the plant is some distance from the main control panel and all I/O's are wired to an SLC5/02 with a DCM. There is also an SMC Flex 150 in close proximity (about 3 feet away) to the 5/02 with a 150HP 415V motor some 20 feet further away.
The cuber is also quite a distance (30 metres) from the main control panel. It's I/O's are wired to a 5/03 also with a DCM. The communication loop is terminated at this DCM with the appropriate thingo( I can't remember what they're called). The cuber program file(s) utilises inputs to move increasing numbers to an integer file (eg when N7:3 equals 4 elevator up) until the sequence is finished, at which point a zero is moved to that file.
Everything works perfectly except, on random occasions, when the mixer motor is winding up to speed, the cuber stops whatever motion it is doing. I go online to the main 5/03 to find random numbers (always different) in whatever integer file was being used by the cuber at that time.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening would be appreciated.
Many thanks
