We have a piece of equipment that runs a slc 500 1747-L40C with the 2 slot expansion rack connected to a panelveiw 300 2711 K3A2L1 over the pic box communications port. the output on the plc are all 110 ac the inputs are all 24 vdc.
not what the problem was that we would start the machine and it would come on and go into the setup cycle(it would intialize its self to get ready to start) then it would compleetely die.
completely die is basicly the 24 vdc power supply would overload and the panelveiw which is run from it would go off. using an ohm meter we checked out the 24 vdc circuits. the only circuit that showed shorted was the panelview. hmm i thought to my self. panel veiw bad maybe? got a replacement in installed it downloaded the peogram into it and when started( powered up) wouldn't you know it the machine did the same thing again.
