I have a customer who has a 90-30 on a Ferry Rotomold machine. I've worked with him before to troubleshoot some issues. I uploaded the file from the PLC to my Profacy Machine Edition, but couldn't get logic equal to go live. I hesitate downloading the program I uploaded because I don't have a backup plan if something goes wrong.... until now.
He bought a refurbished CPU 363 that matched firmware with the current CPU. I'm going there today to remove the old CPU, set it aside, and install and download the file to the replacement CPU.
I'm still a rookie with the GE PLCs. Are there any little "gotchas" that I should know about? I think one that I remember... upload *everything* when I'm making the selection, right?
On the phone he said the current CPU is "blowing fuses". Not sure how PLC literate he is, and whether he's using the right terminology. He makes it sound like the CPU card is blowing fuses. Does that make sense?
