Any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated!
I have an AB controlnet network with ten racks. I am occasionally getting failures, currently about once every two days where a rack or racks will simply stop communicating. The only way to bring them back is to reset the controlnet bridge module (pull it out and put it back in). This network is controlling a reheat furnace which can be up to 2500 degrees, so these comm issues can be VERY unpleasant.
I sometimes have multiple racks at various points along the network fail simultaneously, other times it will be just one at any point along the network. I set up some error trapping logic today and had a rack fail this evening and it gave me fault codes of 515 and 516, which I believe are communications timeouts.
I used to have continuous errors of all kinds on the network, until we went through and replaced every connector (sloppy installation work) and now I don't get any until I have a complete failure of a rack.
Does anybody have any fixes for this or common experiences? Is there a way for me to increase the timeout time?
Thanks in advance....
