Hello all.
I am having an issue with a Point I/O modual and I am hoping somebody can help. This modual was working fine and has been running for a few years now. Over the past few months it has faulted before with a point bus flashing red LED. I would cycle the power and all is well. Well now it is flashing the Network Status LED as soon as it starts up and susequently flashes the Point Bus LED after a timeout with no connections made. The troubleshooting guide for the unit states that the recomended action for the flashing Network Status is "none". RA Support says to replace the modual. I am just looking for another opinion on this. The unit is connected to my Ethernet through a couple Ethernet extenders over an old copper pair phone line. and then to my network switch. I have verified through IT that my port is configured properly and I have verified continuity through the wiring to the controller. The controller is a 1734-AENT. It is monitored through a soft logix station on a dedicated PC where I can only see yellow triangles on my project tree for this modual. Also when I try to PING the I.P. I get request timed out. Just looking for another opinion before I buy a new controller. Thanks in advance for any assistance offered!
