Dear Sirs,
We have fourteen machines and each one has a Beckhoff CX1020-0111 PLC in it. There is also a CX1100-0004
Power supply in each machine.
One of the fourteen is now being problematic. (The Machine shuts down, and what diagnostics there are
suggest that ALL the I/O modules attached to the PLC are off line.) Power cycle the machine and it
runs for a couple of hours and quits again.
We've had these machines for over a decade now. I believe I need 'TwinCat' software to access the PLC?
Any suggestions as to version and is it free or will I need to buy it?
We do not use the ethernet ports on it in the application . . . Is there an easy to gain access to it via ethernet?
Or will I need to get something else?
It will be Monday before I get back to this . . . so I'm going to save this thread.
Thanks for any insights, Poet.
