Has anyone got any info on why a micrologix1500 PLC would just "lose its program"?
The PLC was only installed a month ago, the battery is new and has no "low battery" lamp illuminated, yet, I was called to check why the system wouldn't run and there was just the end instruction in the PLC and that was all.
I reloaded the program and off it went. The client is quite rightly concerned that this may happen again. I have never had this happen before, any suggestions?
By the way, there was no loss of power or anything unusual that may have caused this and the fault light was illuminated prior to the sparky cycling the run/prgram switch, after which the run light was lit, but of course, with no prgram.
