I'm stumped, yet again. Call from operator saying they are seeing alarms, turns out to be all HMI com alarm to the PLC. Connected up to the PLC (1756-L73) and everything is in extremely slow motion.
- PLC is on a DLR, device level ring.
- ping and network stat (web page) seems good.
I finally was able to open the main task property page in Logix5000 and it shows 24 ms, which I guess is not bad.
So, in summary, network seems good. The problem seems to be between the network card and the PLC somewhere. Beside changing out the PLC, any other tips?
ETA: oh, btw, I put the PLC into program mode via key switch but no improvement.
