Hi folks,
I have 9 process lines that each have a footage counter that measures strip length for a coiling process. I've had these for a couple years, no problems.
Today I'm working on one of these units.
The system is an 842e absolute encoder, L27 compact logix plc, a panelview 7 hmi, and I'm using a stratix 2000 unmanaged switch. These systems are isolated and do that interact with other networks at this point.
My problem is that my 842e encoder keeps (I think this is what is happening) rebooting. My module status on studio 5000 keeps cycling through the following: running, faulted, connecting, running, faulted, connecting... every 30 seconds or so. It will connect and work for a little bit, then fault again.
Any ideas?
I've changed the encoder and ruled that out. I am considering changing the cable, but wanted to see if you guys had any advice or next steps for me...
thanks,
John
