We have a SLC 5/04 that looses it's program on power up 3-4 times per year. We have had a lot of people look at it (AB Reps, the machine builder, etc.) and tried countless things. The only thing that seemed to help was to place an isolation transformer on the incoming power line.
My problem is when the program is loaded back into the processor the date and time is never correct. We are laser etching a part with the julian date so the date in the processor is kinda important.
Last week I changed it the machine to have the panelview write it's date and time to the processor each minute. I figured that: 1. We never have any problems with the panelview so it should retain it's data fine. 2. In chase who-ever had download the program to the processor, if they forget to set the date and time, the panelview will take if it for them.
The morning the date was off!
Any ideas? I know that fixing the original problem would be the best but, I have spent endless hours on it and for now I would just like to find a solution to the date problem.
