I have a SLC 5/05 with a 1747-SN RIO Scanner in slot 6 talking to a Mettler Toledo Jaquar/Jagxtreme scale with the AB RIO card.
This system was working fine for years. Shut it down for a couple weeks to do some machine upgrades and while it was down I activated another analog input channel in slot 3 and wrote a few lines of code.
Now the PLC and scale are not talking. Flashing red comm light on the PLC scanner and the status light on the scale card is dark. I rechecked my new code and don't see any conflicts, etc. The troubleshooting help for both says not communicating.
Is there a way to test the scanner and/or the scale card? I'm not sure where the problem lays.
