PLC L30ER V30.01
VFD PF 525 V7.0001
Running into an issue that I've never seen before. Ive configured many PF525's before so i know the basics.
I configured a brand new PF 525 with IP Address matching that of project, and not overlapping any other device addresses. I can open the VFD config via Studio, and in some places in Studio the VFD shows connected, in the bottom left corner it shows, "Faulted" then "Shutting Down" then "Connecting" The VFD does not show any fault codes. In the project tree the VFD shows up with an exclamation point. The GSV Value of entry status shows 4096 in decimal.
RS Linx shows the drive us UNKNOWN DEVICE, even after uploading the EDS file
I have tried
- Jumpering STO
- Using Match Drive after adding the module and going online
- Starting with a blank project, and just putting the VFD in the project by itself
- Flashing CPU to V29
- Changing to a different IP address with the VFD and the PLC
- New ethernet cable
- Failed Flashing the VFD to a different Firmware version using:
- Control Flash - Control Flash says it is unable to connect to the device
- Firmware update VIA USB. Program does not show the folder browse to is empty?
- Firmware update VIA CCW. CCW says that it cannot locate the drive
What am i missing here, is the VFD just bad?
