At our facility we have some strange behavior from one of our ControlLogix PLCs. It runs three palletizers. We have had some rare but very disruptive communication issues, and almost exclusively when someone is online with the PLC. Otherwise, we cannot explain it. So right now it's more of a hunch than anything.
Has anyone heard of this being a possible cause of problems? If two users are online with the PLC using Studio5000, and possible running some Trends, can this possibly affect the PLC's ability to run code and communicate with other devices reliably?
It is a 1756-L72S GuardLogix 5570.. rev 28.. System Overhead Slice is 30% right now (and set to Run Continuous Task during unused time slice). Data & logic Memory is at less than 50% usage. MainTask is running max 18ms scantime, max 18ms interval time.
TIA !
