Hello all-
We have a CLogix redundant system (v15.6) with each of the processor racks using a 1756-CNBR card for comms to two remote I/O racks.
The CNBR card were both rev E's, fw 11.3.7, and all was working fine up until the other day--
I happened to go online to the processor to check some tuning changes that had been made in my absence, and noticed the processor redundancy status indicator was RED, and the system had switched to back-up.
In looking at the racks I found the CNBR card on the Primary rack was X'ed out in RSLinx. I took a new fw 11.3.7 CNBR card up to the rack, set the address dials, and hot-swapped it for the bad one, which had a RED "ok" LED lit, and both A and B channel LED's were OFF.
The new card booted up ok, and I used RSNetworx to update its keeper status.
PROBLEM: The SRM module on that rack is still reading "DISQ" (disqualified), am presently unable to resynchronize it using the SRM tool in RSLinx, and under the SRM status tab it is showing both CNBR cards as "incompatible".
Again, the firmware (11.3.7) is identical in both cards, the replacement being a NIB spare.
The only odd thing I have found is under "signatures", the new CNBR card is showing all 0's, whereas the working card is showing a HEX value.
