Hi,
any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm stuck..
I'm working on a system with 1769-L24ER (v21), 4 powerflex 4 drives and KInetix 300(v1.81). In local panel they are connected to a AB switch, not sure but I think its Startix 2000 but not 100% sure. When the system is not connected to the factory network all is fine, when I connect the ethernet wire to factory network first thing I notice that all port led lights on the factory switch (Cisco not sure of model) will start flashing with same frequency and after an hour or so I get random comms issue around the factory. Managed to narrow it down to the Kinetix300, if this one is unplugged all works fine.
I tried using the Unicast connection but that always times out and doesn't want to work. That was done on rockwell tech support advice, upgrade the PLC rev to 21 and servo to latest FW, all done but same issue.
Would anybody have an idea what to try next?
Many thanks,
Jan
