Hi, I have an SLC 5/04 which has been working fine. Just added a 1746-BAS module to the rack and have got real problems.
The BASIC module seems to be working OK "stand-alone" - I can enter a program and have it run and it seems to be OK. Just "Hello World" type stuff though.
However, it seems to break the processor - the processor faults and even worse, seems to get corrupted. Power down/reset don't work, I have to remove the battery and short the capacitor to recover the situation.
On the odd occasion, I have had the BAS module working with the processor in RUN, but when I power off/on, it always fails on restart.
Is there some essential ladder that I am missing to make the processsor aware of the BAS module and co-exist with it ? All I have done so far is to configure it as an I/O module in Slot 2. Is anything else required ?
(I know the BAS module is quite old, but I am not going to replace it with a Prosoft module).
I am starting to think that the ("second user") BAS module is faulty ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Regards
Dave
