Hi group, first post, please be gentle!!
I am working on a machine running Citect 5.21 and a SLC503 PLC. They are (were) communicating successfuly for 3-4yrs. Recently, I've been seeing more and more #COM faults in the Citect HMI screens, it's now at the point where it has inhibited production.
We've tried: Re-installing the Citect program, Reinstalling earlier "back-up" versions of the program which were running fine, Re-installing the entire Citect software package, Reinstalling the entire OS and software, Reinstalling the entire OS on a seperate PC, Trying a new SLC processor....all with no avail. And yes I checked the serial cable
I've tracked it down to the KE500 driver in Citect using the Citect Kernel functions,I can see the device error count indexing as the communications fail, but I don't know what to do/check from there. We're running Citect 5.21 SP-F.
Does anyone know of a Citect user forum, or any other sources to go to???
I'm at the end of my rope.....thanks for listening to my rant....maybe you'll have some ideas!!
Thanks,
JOhn
