Hey All.
First time with a PFlex 70.
This week I opened the drive, added a safety module, added the 20 comm e module, and put in into a PLC project. It was simply a test project, it went well, no issues. I was online with the drive and controlling it.
Today I added this drive to my real process. It came in already at firmware 5 so no flashing required. I added it to the PLC project, no problem, downloaded my project to the PLC, powered up the drive and all is good. In my controller organizer, it is ok, no yellow triangles. I can click on the drive properties and see that the drive is owned, in run mode with no faults, also I have a module identity match.
Now I go to the drive tab and it connects no trouble. At the top of the page it says Connected in green and I can see that there is a 20-comm-e on port 5 and 20-him on port 1. However, there is a red "Comm Loss" just under the revision portion of the display. I have tried defaulting the drive memory parameters and uploading from the drive to the PLC thinking I might have given it a bad parameter but no luck.
Software is RSL5K V20.18
Drive is PFLEX 70, EC-E, 50 horse power 600 VAC.
I have attached a few pics to help tell the story.
I cant call Rockwell till Monday so I'm looking to see if anybody has run into this before.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
