Elevmike, No problem with any delays you have had and I sure understand busy.
Just in case you missed it in the rush, here's a reminder that I have resolved this issue. Had to upload the DM area from the limping PLC and then I D/L them into both spares and both spares run normally. The press has been running with one of the spares since Tuesday noon. Program in RAM only.
Now I'm wondering if I need 2 spares on hand. Only reason I bought this last spare was because I could not make the original one, that I repaired, work on the press. I thought something else got fried on it, but all it needed was the machine parameters pumped into the DM area.
Thanks again to everyone here and PLCTalk.
