Hi All,
I'm having a problem in my workplace.
We have a standalone Ethernet network with several PLC5 processors attached to it.
One of the processors is dropping off the network and I'm not sure if it is network or processor related.
I'm never there when it happens and by the time I get there, the system has returned to normal.
I did put in a watchdog timer which monitors a bit changing condition on the PLC which is dropping out, but I was wondering if there is some sort of routine that I can add to the processor which would tell me if there is a problem?
If it is the processor then could I put something in which monitors the scantime and would flag an alarm if it exceeds a preset value?
Thanks in advance.
