What happens when you mix a mouse using the bathroom and a PLC processor? A PLC with cleared memory.
Came in Monday to the call from our Planermill Manager saying nothing would work, and when he opened the PLC cabinet to check for a tripped breaker, a mouse jumped out at him.
Got over there and found the PLC faulted, cleared memory. Pulled the processor out to find mouse turds in it, but was not wet at all (the pee must have dried).
Reloaded the program and it went right back to work. Only had to reset the product data which of course had changed since the last save.
Why did that mouse have to relieve itself over the processor and not some random I/O card that would have been easier to fix?
LOL
