No faults this time loading remotely. Previously, what would happen is - we'd *discover* the redundant PLC faulted, but the primary was still running fine. And since this application runs out in a remote 'shack', nobody knew. The theory was it was due to loading it remotely - which I didn't believe.
I tried direct-connecting to the Redundant processor (using USB cable), but the ControlLogix5000 software wouldn't boot past the Splash screen. Kept quitting on me - even though the executable still showed up in Task Manager. Not sure if that's a license problem, a cable problem, a laptop problem, a network problem, or an IP address problem, or all of the above.
It's like pulling teeth with these things ...
