Hi,
I came into work today and my co-worker had tried to do some electrical wiring in the panel where we have a Micrologix 1500 running. It was for a motor, so he set up the output to run it through a relay. When he tried to turn on the motor he faulted out the PLC. He got Major Error Halt S:1/13 bit turning on with the note being an expansion I/O hardware error. He got it to run again and he disconnected the wiring he had done. Now we can plug into the PLC with our comm cable to go online, but if i try to plug the panelview back into the PLC, or just have a cable plugged into the PLC, it faults out again and i get the same error that he had before. I tried 2 different cables, and it did it with both of them, i can plug it in so it does work, but if i move the cable the wrong way it faults out. Everything is fine when i have the comm cable plugged into my computer.
Did he fry something in the PLC? and that is why i am getting this fault everytime i plug the comm cable into it? Or would it be something else? The PLC is running fine right now without anything plugged into the comm port. Only happens when something is plugged in the comm port and wiggled around a bit.
