I have 2 identical systems, 1 beside me and the other 1000 miles away on site. During commisioning the NO4I started playing up, it gave just 4 VDC output from the externally supplied 24 VDC. So I got them to take it out and check it. It then stopped working altogether. Now the PLC cannot even see the card and it faults the program.
So I sent another NO4I card up that I know works and although it gives 24 VDC, it still does not work. The PLC cannot detect it. I have tried it in the original slot 9, then slot 5 and then 4. The PLC still cannot detect the card. Aslo when both cards were switched to backplane supply, no power light was present, only when switched to external power with the external power connected does the light come on.
The PLC is now comming back for more testing. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could have happened? I cannot guarentee that it worked properly before commisioning, but I suspect it did. Could ther be something wrong with the backplane?
Thanks
Stu
