We are having an odd issue with an Allen Bradley 1747-L531 processor. When we try and connect with the controller using a 1747-AIC Link coupler that connects to the PLC and a 1747-UIC Coupler to connect the computer to the Link coupler. We are using a Windows 7 64 bit computer, though it isn't relevant to the issue. Whenever the RS485 cable is connected to the link coupler, still not connected the computer. It causes our Scrap conveyor system to go into Auto shutdown mode. There are no faults appearing on the PLC. I can connect to the PLC and view the live code fine. the only way to fix it is to remove the cable from the link coupler and move the PLC key from remote to program to run and back to remote mode.
It seems like it's resetting a fault, but as I said. I don't see any faults on the PLC when I go online with it. Any help would be appreciated.
